Ellen Harding Baker’s “Solar System Quilt”
A Teacher in 1876 Handcrafted This Quilt to Help Teach Astronomy to Her Class. Completed in 1876, the large, 89 × 106 inch Solar System Quilt was made from black woolen fabric and embellished with colorful wool-fabric appliqué, wool braid, as well as wool and silk embroidery. Similar to the solar system illustrations in astronomy books of the time, it features the sun at the center, the eight planets of our solar system, as well as the asteroid belt and a myriad of stitched stars. Earth’s Moon, the Galilean moons of Jupiter, as well as a number of moons for Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus are included as small embroidered dots, and Saturn’s rings feature as yellow fabric appliqué. A large comet in the upper left corner is also included, perhaps representing Halley’s comet, which had last been seen in 1835.

“As I researched sleep, I found that we sleep in intervals. The REM intervals loop several times a night. Each loop is about 90 minutes long. It is the same running time as an average feature film. So maybe the running time of films fulfills our subconscious needs? Therefore, entering a movie theatre is not unlike entering a dream. Films hypnotise us and take us to new worlds. Sleeping and films are like twin realities.”

not to be dramatic but a hyperfixation on beauty ruins art and thats why all the looks are so boring/unimaginative for the met gala . where’s the UGLINESS? wheres the NARRATIVE? where’s the SHAMELESS DECADENCE as a VISUAL SHORTHAND to express EUPHORIC RELIGIOUS RAPTURE? this isn’t the time for clean simplicity and restraint! honestly
