Surely the People Are Grass



An oddly cropped photo of "Surely the People Are Grass" - and a detail (sort of, below).
Click on the photos for enlargements.
Size 13.5x17.5 inches.
Fabric, beads, yarn, string; and 6 pieces from my collection of paper objects that wash up in the clean laundry. (Laundry findings.)

Isaiah 40:6-8









A detail, taken before several formal problems were resolved. After adding Mr. Robin to the death image -- hope for resurrection and eventual springtime. Faith in renewal.
