Hail Mary

This was a project which happened to combine to ideas that I had been working on. The First idea was that of the Devotional cloths. One of the things that I like about these devotional cloths is that it is taking a western religious idea and mixing it in with a more primitive (I hate this word but use it for lack of a better one)nature based religious structure. I think that many times we use religion as a way of separating us from nature and our own more instinctive natures. These devotional cloths try to break down these arbitrary walls. The other idea that I was working on in this piece was that of cave paintings. I have always been fascinated by cave paintings and the simplicity of the shape. The shape of the vulva\'s on these pieces of cloth were inspired by those that I have seen in cave paintings.
