Fiber art wall hanging of appliqued, embroidered, and dye-painted cotton and linen fabrics, accented with bead embroidery in glass and semiprecious stone beads (including garnet, peridot, freshwater pearl, citrine, green feldspar, and aquamarine.) Upper panel depicts a fountain surrounded by embroidered maritime fossils and aqua glass beads on rust cotton brocade; lower panel shows a mountain lake with water-spirit faces hidden in the pearl and turquoise embroidery. Finished with hanging tassels of multicolored cotton embroidery thread and glass beads. Poplar wood and polyester-coated steel hanging wire sewn into backing. Inspired by folklore and water-rights issues in the American Southwest. Colorways: rust, cream, dark green, turquoise, red, sky blue. Back text hand-inked on linen backing: 'Spanish fountains, lake spirits, hidden strata of water-filled shale, and the fossil evidence of sea creatures revealed by erosion - water in the American Southwest is literally the lifeblood of both physical environments and the world-views attempting to explain them.'
