Holiday
A photo of my father’s family on vacation in 1956 is the inspiration for this blanket. For me blankets are objects that carry a multitude of symbolic meanings. Blankets have been used in history as a form of currency, been given as a sign of goodwill, generosity and peace. The blanket shift’s it’s shape as it takes on multiple shapes and purposes when draped or worn.
