Jane Austen hanging
I used silk to make this book, and patched it together in various ways to show that Jane lived in a society which was very structured and restrictive.
Throughout the piece I have used three elements to illustrate her life: her family: her home and her writing. There are also folded triangles inserted into the seams which bring in the naval theme of her last book. These represent the sea.
The pages turn and can be tied back to show different frames for the central two background pictures.
