This work was completed in partial fulfillment of the Williams College Studio Art major. The work was exhibited at the Williams College Art Museum in the show Indoor Recess.
The entirety of this work is sewn by hand, totaling to 350 feet of hand-sewn seams, or approximately the length of an American football field. The front of the tapestry is made entirely of linen woven on 19th century looms in an artisan textile house in Mallorca; the backing is made from locally sourced cotton hand-dyed with food waste from establishments in Williamstown, MA.
