Chasuble
Not on view
With glorious invention, the creator of this Chasuble (a tabard-like vestment worn by a Catholic priest over his clothing when leading church services) has quilted and appliquéd together shaped patches to create the illusion of an expensive and older figurative woven silk or high-end needlework. Amongst the appliquéd fabrics are woven silks including damasks, and even printed cottons. The dedicated amateur creating this has assembled a gently symmetrical, vibrant pattern, whose vivid colors are still readily appreciable.
