"Raindrops in Pond"

marsh_tapestry.jpgCharlene Marsh
Yarn and muslin
54” X 74”

This early tapestry design of overlapping circles and stars in contrasting blues, oranges and yellows was created in 1985.  Fiber artist Marsh uses hand-dyed yarn that is tufted onto muslin to create thicker texture where the shapes appear.

Marsh lives in Brown County, Indiana, where she has established a nation-wide reputation for her unique methods and compelling designs.

 

Approximately 2,000 fugitive slaves were sheltered at Levi Coffin’s home in Newport (Fountain City) between 1827 and 1847.
