Fool in Silk

"Fool" 24" x 36" was made for our fiber group's "It's All In The Cards" exhibit

this September at The Art Place in Mountain View in North Metro Atlanta.

My card picked was the Joker, and instead of a literal translation

I did an abstract depicting the foolishness, the naivety

 the there are no limitations in life,

and just go swirling around into the unknown aspects of the "Fool" in the Tarot Card.

A few of the circular motifs actually turn.

It's supposed to be a fun piece.

Nothing serious.
