Starting off 2014 with a non-literal but literary Bang

(freedom is a trip)
a concrete (i.e. visual) poem by Montana Ray 



My re-interpretation in embroidery and fabric manipulation with stuffing...A "soft" gun. Flat, before stuffing and embroidering, the separate fabric pieces I cut resembled Montana's original - I traced her poem to get the right shape. Somehow in the translation, the shape morphed. For one, I added extra fabric at the extreme right because I ran out of space for the top 3 lines of the poem. 



















As you can tell, the piece is small
- 3.5" h x 7" w x 1" d
