Fabric painted in a class with Sherrill Kahn. Assembled, quilted, then painted edge batting with Setacolor which migrated inwards, achieving the framing effect. The central "nugget" is a metallic painted piece of Tyvek melted with a heat gun.
This piece was displayed at the SCMAC show "Blue" in February 2001.
