Bomber Carpet

tapestry and photo

2018

Handwoven tapestry, depicting the shape of a Dornier Do 17 aka “flying pencil” dropping bombs. Above the airplane audio cable is woven in. It can convey the sound of the engines or the throughout the woven sky into the present. A photo of the tapestry shows it installed in one of the descendents houses above a chair I was sitting in as a child.
