It's Showtime at
the Peking Opera
78" x 60"
Painted silks and cottons. Machine appliquéd and
quilted, beading and thread work.
$12,500
This hanging is the result of a photograph I took
of a "show girl" while attending the Peking Theatre in
Beijing, China (formerly Peking). She and several
others paraded the stage between acts of the children's
play, The Monkey Kings. The two Monkey
Kings are depicted in the upper corners of the hanging.
The Peking Opera company has performed without interruption
since 1750.

Marti Gras Cats
47" x 38"
Commercial fabric, fused and heavily quilted.
$3,000
This hanging is a tribute to a family cat that ran out of
his nine lives. He was a black and white cat who had
many colorful adventures. Starting in the upper left
corner and working clockwise, observe some of these
adventures:
A.
He is reveling in all his feathers and finery at the Marti
Gras Parade.
B. After being Shanghaied
aboard a ship while in China, he is put to work keeping the
rats and mice off the ship. He dresses in his pirate
outfit, including a peg leg, and stomps around the ship.
Not a single rat or mouse can be found. They jumped
ship in fear for their lives.
C. Before jumping ship, he
amuses the crew and Captain with his flamboyant rendition of
"Hello, Dolly." Notice his beautiful beads and
feathers.
D. After jumping ship, he
finds work in an aviary. His job is to keep the mice
and rats out of the aviary and keep the birds entertained.
The birds love him so much that they land on his head while
he performs his latest jazz rendition.
E. Next, he finds that,
because of all his good deeds, he has been selected as
"King" of the Marti Gras Parade.
F. He then decides to go to
work for a fish monger. Each morning he wears a fresh
catch of fish for a hat and necklace. His job is to
parade up and down in front of the fish market. He
attracts all of the local cats in the area and leads them
down a side alley, (this way the cats will not bother
the customers). In the alley they are all caught in a
trap until the end of market day. As they are allowed
to leave the trap, the monger lets them have all the fish
left in the market. |
