Ying and Yang

Creator: Bethan Ash
Offered by: White Court Art

Description
Art quilt inspired by the traditional Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang. According to legend, the Chinese emperor Fu Hsi claimed that the best state for everything in the universe is a state of harmony represented by a balance of yin and yang.
Within this piece I have used white and black and the circle as the Yin Yang symbol that represents the idealized harmony of these forces, equilibrium in the universe. In ancient Taoist texts, white and black represent enlightenment and ignorance, respectively.
Size h 60 x w 60 x d ½ inches

Materials: over-dyed, resist and discharge dyed 100% Cotton upper. Cotton backing and filling.
