Chantal Guillermet – Decay #6 The Kutch village
For Kutch village my inspiration is a photo taken in India in a village we passed through. The houses were in a state of great disrepair, with filth piling up outside but for these people it was a place to live. The whole place was sad despites some touch of color.
I tried to capture the essence of the place.
Machine-embroidered and painted collage, fabric and paper dyed or breakdown printed, rust dyed fabrics, acrylic paint, neocolor II, inktense blocks.
FIFTEEN BY FIFTEEN 
You succeeded in capturing the essence, very sad and unfortunately very real.
