‘Big Sky Country: Heart Mountain’ by Phyllis Movius; 37" X 21 5/8”

Phyllis writes of her work: ‘Montana and Wyoming have the same kinds of broad vistas that I have grown accustomed to in Alaska--the same "big sky" and expansive landscape as in the north country. Heart Mountain, over 8000 feet above sea level, dominates the view as you drive south on Highway 120 in Wyoming.  This piece was fused using hand dyed cotton and silk organza, and commercial cotton fabrics’.
