13 Penny Berens<br />

Sixties Groove, 2007<br />

Penny Berens (Granville Ferry, NS)<br />

Cotton, silk, synthetic fabrics; quilt batt; wrapped beads and pipe cleaners;<br />

buttons, beads, embroidery threads; fabric layers stitched together<br />

then slashed and distressed. Beads created by wrapping fabrics and<br />

threads around straws; wrapped pipe cleaners; hand and machine stitching.<br />

24" x 59"<br />

In the sixties I was often called a daydreamer<br />

because of a naïve conviction that we should dispose<br />

of individual countries and become citizens of<br />

the world. Now I am in my sixties and still a daydreamer.<br />

Inspired by the Hippie era and the artist's<br />

photograph of layered rocks.
