Sustainability 2

This 'art quilt' represents human impact on the natural environment. The use of disconnected fabrics representing the fragmentation of the ecosystems (including a few 'melted' fabrics representing destroyed systems); dirty great big wheel tracks splashing mud and grot everywhere representing our over indulgent lifestyles; orange binding because it's a wake call.

Sustainability 1 will eventually be an all green and blue quilt; using larger sections; with footprints across it; bound in green.

Sustainability 3 will (eventually) be an all brown/orange and grey quilt; again using larger sections (as we wipe out the biodiversity it all becomes the same). There will be no tracks on it at all ('cause if we really wreck the place we're done for). It will be bound in red.

This quilt is approximately 23 x 14 inches and was created for a university course in sustainability.
