Blankets of Love:

This display at the Denver Art Museum is certainly eye catching!
What a super idea by Marie Watt who created Blanket Story: Confluence, Heirloom, and Tenth Mountain Division.  She was a resident in DAM's resident artist program for Native American Arts.
 
 
    
This collection of blankets is sponsored by family, friends, community.  Marie uses the blankets in her large scale exhibits.   

Looking up close you can see a variety of blankets, fabrics, textures, colors and

each has a tag to give the story of this blanket to give one a sense of the owners life.
A must see when you visit the DAM!
