Making pods...a thousand assassins

I consider the generosity of God...
From one seed pod come many flowers

From one flower comes death
A thousand assassins in one golden flourish of pollen.

There is treachery in beauty....thank God for the beauty of life and death.

I am making felt pods and lining them with silk moth cocoons stitched together with linen thread.

These will form part of a larger work/installation in my Flowers for Oberon exhibition ( March 2017).

Hand made felt, silk moth cocoons and linen thread. Working title: A thousand assassins ( the generosity of God)
