The top left is a raw edge applique quilt. Mounted behind the quilt is a mp3 player with speakers that plays the sculpture's song on a loop. I wrote and recorded the song. Amy Ferebee sang the song.
In front of the quilt is a wave form made of applique mounted on wood.
On top of the wave form is a cast ceramic bottle with a cork in it. A eucalyptus twig made of wire and paper from an old book pops out of the cork. Next to that is a funeral spray of lilies and greenery made of paper, wire, and cotton from the top of q-tips that have been painted with watercolors. The funeral spray rests on a found floral metal easel.
To far right is a fence post form made of applique that is mounted on wood. On top of the fence post is a plaster cast of a turtle shell with cast human fingers as the legs and head of the turtle.
