Falling out of our fingers





We've met several times since the last entry. The cocoon has been moved to Gallery 370 where we are continuing to work on it. We have torn large piles of clothes into strips, then braid and weave these strips into the rapidly growing object. On Friday, we worked outside, and several of us tried the cocoon on. It is very heavy and swallows some of us up more than others. If walking, the wearer needs a guide as it obscures vision of all but the gound in front of their feet. We continue to talk about what might emerge out of it, as well as ways in which others might add to it when it is on display for the Art Saves Lives exhibition, beginning May 15th.
