fenestrae reliquian: (in memory)
 
Karen Atkinson
Far Bazaar, Foundation for Art Resources, Bingo Building, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Conceived for a 64' high by 12' wide window in an abandoned building located in the brewery complex for FAR BAZZAR sponsored by Foundation for Art Resources in 1994. Approx 300 hand made handkerchiefs were hung in the window. The viewer was asked to write a message or the name of a person they knew who had died of AIDS on white ribbons supplied at the site. The ribbons were then tied on below the handkerchiefs in the window. By the end of the show, the bottom window area was filled with white ribbons.
