To be hung in the Reserve Room of Kennedy Library this week, this maze of loops and tubes will not only be an addition to the bbrary, but will double as a senior project for Burg. The tapestry is scheduled to be flame-proofed April 21, and hung by Friday. “ Just in time for Poly Royal,” said Burg, who said she hopes her work is “ a first in a number of student pieces for the library.” Textile graphics and tapestries are things Burg said she has been "dabbling in” for the [>ast four years. " I thought the library was in need of something artistic,” she said. “ A textile sculpture is just the thing to liven it up a bit.” 3-D tapestry The three-dimensional tapestry will hang from a beam and have a 180-degree twist. Its loops, approx imately 130 of them, are made of muslin socks, stuffed and dyed. Tied at the ends, these loops are connected to both ends of 30 tubes. The socks, five to eight feet in length when unlooped, are wrapped in varying shades of purple yarn.
