Bivouac

When I was a kid, my dad (who was in the army) used to go on what he called bivouac, which is the military term for camping out, most often used when playing war “games”. I loved the word and the way it is pronounced (biv-whack). Many years later, I saw tents lined up with military precision at Camp Navajo just west of Flagstaff, and that image inspired the stitching on this piece. 8-1/2″ h x 11-1/4″ w This stitched textile collage comes framed in light wood frame, 12-3/4" h x 16-3/4" w
