Ivory Pleated Wall Hanging
This hanging was commissioned by the minister of the DuPage Unitarian-Universalist
Church, in Naperville, Illinois.
The minister asked for something that would go
on the wall behind the pulpet, to stop her
from blending into the brick while she talked during
the Sunday service. The requirements were that she didn't want to worry that the clothes
she was wearing clashed with the hanging,
that the hanging not have a busy center motief so that she would not feel
"framed" by it thereby having to be conscious of where she was standing, and
something that would not distract the congregation from the message of the
service.
The hanging measures 8' wide and 6.5' tall and is made
of ivory heavy curtain fabric.
