J. Homer French ‘Mapestries’
katherine cone gallery I j. homer french
When I moved back to earthquake prone California I was fascinated to find myself living between two big fault zones - the San Andreas and the San Jacinto. I realized that I should replace all those books and framed paintings above the beds with something lighter and softer. So I made a ‘Mapestry’, a map in fabric and thread with the fault zones marked in red. I’ve been making them ever since. They are safe in tremblers and can also be hung just anywhere as a gentle and colorful reminder and caution. Plus they are easy to put up and take down, so perfect for people who move a lot - just fold up and pack in a box - take out, iron or steam - and hang up. -J. Homer French
