Artist's statement: Inspiration comes [from] Japanese saying of "See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil." I used some over-dyed seersucker cotton as my background fabric with some vinyl window screen, Tyvek, and polyester sparkling organza. I also included some photo transfers that I changed some of them by making the sepia tone to add age. I did some distressing of the organza by burning and I also added some small effigies of hanging figures.
