Contaminated Water #4: Through the Fence was inspired by a trip to the Bisbee, Arizona several years ago to view the Queen Copper Mine. Viewing the copper streaked water through the security fence from the shoulder of the road was just another reminder for me of the different colors that water can be. Lots of water is naturally copper in color due to the mineral content of the area. Heavy iron deposits and copper deposits give the water a brown, dirty look and easily can stain clothes as well as skin.
The hand stitched swirls give the piece visual and physical texture. They could be caused by springs, bugs or eddies beneath the surface of the water. A chain link fence motif is hand stitched over top of the swirls as an added visual. This artwork is designed to be displayed in any orientation.
One-of-a-kind original textile artwork signed and dated by the artist. Included with the artwork is a Certificate of Authenticity, Care Instructions, and display slats. Installation simply requires two (2) nails or wall screws.
Artwork is carefully rolled, packed in heavy cardboard container, and shipped directly from the artist’s studio. **On exhibit at the ambassador’s residence in Bangladesh from 2023-2025.
