Connections – Gare de Lyon, Paris

36″ X 60″
$3600

 

Arriving at Gare de Lyon in 2019, heading for the south of France, I was fascinated by this busy train terminal and all the activity within.  From a distance and a high vantage point, it appeared to be a constantly changing tapestry of humanity, woven together by common purpose and the awareness of time.  ‘Connections’ is a textile translation of a sketch that I did while visiting Paris in 2019.

Free motion thread-sketched by machine on Pimatex cotton, painted and quilted.
