Heavily inspired by the Expressionist artist Paul Klee’s modern masterpiece ‘In the Desert’ and the Japanese sewing art of Sashiko and Boro, I’ve used scraps of fabric from my off-cuts box and mixture of Japanese threads and balls of colourful cotton I recently found in a local charity shop for this art piece. It can either be a wall hanging or table centre piece. I will sew in a discrete Velcro rod pocket at the back so it can be hung and taken off when used as a table centrepiece. Klee was inspired by his travels in Egypt and if you can imagine his view from on high down to segmented farmland made up of fields of produce in the sun.
