This wall hanging measuring 82cm by 43cm has varied artistic involvement. There is deliberate ageing of the fabric, creation of deterioration and indiscriminate staining with Japanese ink. A border of darning signifies an attempt to preserve the purpose of the fabric usually used as sacks or bags containing wheat, coal etc. as in past times. Words and image enhances the past function of the fabric to create a raw, industrial feel that is decorative in nature.

Khaki is a colour, a light shade of brown with a yellowish tinge. Khaki is an equal mix of sage and buff so it is considered a quinary (5th in ranking) color. Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms, including camouflage. This is a very simple bag, unlined, no pockets, made from a strong canvas cotton found in a second hand shop. It would be very cheap to buy if it wasn't for the very high cost of postage which is included in the price. See at Creatifbitsnpieces in the Etsy shop.
