canvas, acrylics) Hundreds of cotton fabrics, quilting thread, woolen wadding. Framed by Forman Art and Framing, Burwood
This is an improvised quilted portrait of our previous dog, a lovable but troubled german short-haired pointer called Bob.
The artwork took hundreds of hours over multiple years. Each 2-inch square was faithfully created, trusting that the work would come together to resemble the subject. The process and outcome are ultimately a story of persistence and resilience, attributes that are critical to not just surviving but thriving when living with a chronic condition like multiple sclerosis.
