GAIA

This piece was created by art quilter

Olga Walters

of Victoria

Olga says: "The abstract patterns in the piece represent the mythical chaos or nothingness from where the Earth Goddess, Gaia was born.
The voluptuous Gaia, is usually depicted in more verdant colours, however I have chosen to represent her in the pink hues often associated with the universal feminine.
Some years ago we lost a very dear family friend, who passed away due to breast cancer. She was an inspiration to our family because of her braveness and determination to keep her dignity throughout her short illness. her illness was most unexpected as she had always enjoyed a very healthy lifestyle.
I feel privileged to have been asked to make this small artwork as a gesture of goodwill for the fight against breast cancer and Bid-4A-Cause.
Resist discharged and over-dyed cotton fabrics, synthetic threads, wool/polyester batting."
