Julie Booth: Hamsa #1

16” (H) x 8” (W) x 2” (D)

My soft sculpture wall figures explore archetypical forms and are strongly influenced by the simple shapes found in the art and craftwork of indigenous cultures. I create the colorful, multi-layered fabrics for my wall figures by carving linoleum blocks and hand printing with fabric paint on solid colored fabric. The works are further embellished with hand appliqué, stitching and beadwork.
