Wearing Exuberance--a collection of commissioned jackets
Breakfast at Sunrise
This jacket interprets the words of John 21. After seven of the disciples have been fishing unsuccessfully all night, Jesus tells them to fish from the right side of the boat, where they net 153 large fish. They reach shore, where Jesus is cooking breakfast for them.
The jacket is made of cottons hand-dyed with natural materials, as well as commercial cotton prints. Fish drawings from the 18th century are photocopied onto plain fabric and painted. The campfire on the back is raw-edge appliqued and painted. Private collection. 2011.
