Marine Biologist, writer, naturalist, one of most influential people of 20th century
An author of several books, and nature
writer, Carson was the winner of National Book Award for The Sea Around Us. She wrote
Silent Spring in 1962 as a warning
about chemical pesticide and fertilize use.
The book led to testimony before Congress and national television
exposure in 1963. Carson was vilified by
chemical industry and some in government for speaking out, but was ultimately
proven correct when studies of dead wildlife found high concentrations of
chemical pesticides.
Currently on display at: The Art of Fiber III: Hidden Dreams, Arts Council of Livingston Parish, LA, through October 28, 2017.

This is so cool! I love the depth and layers that you added - thank you for sharing :)
this is a very interesting quilt, love your technique
Very interesting. So fun that it's on display.
You choose some fascinating topics for your work. How on Earth do you choose?!
Both my pieces (and a third) were made for a women's history project honoring women with significant achievements since 1920, when US women got the vote. They were not selected for the traveling show or book, but will be on the HERstory website when it is completed
Neat technique - I like the results!
