This happened in 2005 ,,, and i am forwarding it here , as we spoke
about `Reactions to art` [ i wrote it to a friend of mine also a
fiberartist]
--------
Yesterday i was 3 hours in the allergy clininc , thus took a part of
the big work i do [ 12 parts] , and was embroidering the background
lines which i make in different colors and sometimes stiches to
indicate changing times ,,,,,
1st woman : reading newspaper , looks up and says:" Nice table cloth,
but you made a mistake There !!!!"[pointing at stich change] i
politely say i do it on purpose ,, woman :" But people will think you
are crazy !!!" [ = she thinks i am ]. Me ; "This is an art project not
a
table cloth" ,,, She ; "You are kidding !!!".

2nd woman ; Are you from a Kibboets" I:...me ?????"
she;" You look so 'From The country!!! and embroider , reminds me of
Kibboets 50 years ago !!!"

Nurse ;;; "Oh that is lovely ,,, can you tell me what table cloth you
make ???? i say it is art ",.,,,, She [2nd woman makes a snorty
noise ] , Nurse: " But of course , one can See it is artistic !!!!"
3rd woman ;"Doesn`t it make your eyes tired ? It isn`t healthy to do
it
!! you know !!!!"
