These pieces were made by Al Loving, a mixed media artist.  I found his works inspiring because he uses abstraction to create unique art that makes the viewer want to know more.  Loving makes his wall hangings by dying strips of torn canvas and attaching them together.

For my piece, I also want to do a wall hanging that incorporates strips of fabric–weaving in geomoetric pattern.  I think this process reflects interconectivity in a way, and I would like to dye my fabric with tea and coffee since my site is a coffee shop.  I would also embroider over the wall hanging in an organic pattern, which would contrast the gridlike weave (I noticed a contrast in the activity of my coffee shop).
