Montana Dreamin'

Montana is a state with huge topographic variability, ranging from the Great Plains in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west. This piece, which I began as a color study of violet and yellow, spontaneously morphed into an abstract representation of Montana. The violet suggests the mountains and the yellow the plains. I added hand stitching in the contrasting color to acknowledge the intermixing of cultures brought about by these vastly different terrains.
