Acrylic yarn and mixed media
Bristol Cathedral
6 March to 6 April 2015
During Lent 2015 – 18 February to 4 April – the Church of England in the South West ran a Carbon Fast. It was 40 days to reflect on how we affect our planet and consider what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. “A Stitch in Time” ran roughly concurrently, showing 3D knitted representations of a series of greenhouse gases that are implicated in climate change.
This year is vital, as governments are meeting in Paris in December, and hopefully they will come to a ground-breaking agreement on the climate.
Climate change
