Solitude in a Border’s Time Vacuum
My quilt is about is about the closing of Borders Books and Music... am feeling a sense of loss of my favorite bookstore. The book label on the side is an actual borders rewards tag that invites the viewer to check out the Border's Reward card more closely. When placed with the barcode up, it depicts a ladder where one climbs into a world of wonderful books where one loses track of time . When placed with the rewards tab up, it now depicts a sense of loss as Borders Books no longer offers rewards and ceases to exist in time.
I, too, liked Border's and will miss them even though I had to drive over 2 hrs. to get to one and so only accomplished that about twice yearly. Anyway, a solemn tribute to a great book store.
