In our November\/December 2008 issue, we included Jennifer Marsh’s World Reclamation Art Project (WRAP), a gas station cozy created to address the world’s dependence on petroleum. For the project, Marsh received individual squares from thousands of people around the world that she combined to make the cozy. Here Marsh tells the stories of three of the contributors, including Fiberarts Assistant Editor Liz Good.<\/p>\n The World Reclamation Art Project on display in DeWitt, New York (just outside Syracuse), April 12th – July 1, 2008.

\nThe World Reclamation Art Project (WRAP)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSilvia Piza-Tandlich is a textile artist and the founder and director of Oct\u00e1gono Gallery in Costa Rica. The gallery is a community-based program that provides educational and income opportunities through the textile arts. Silvia and her group joined the project to express their concerns towards our world’s dependency on petroleum. In total, her group donated five truly inspiring panels. Silvia shared with me a story about another participant, whom she met through the IFC, that lived in Argentina. She said this amazing woman had been fighting cancer but was struck by our community textile-based project on oil dependency and was driven to complete a panel. Silvia said the ill woman had to take breaks and rest her arms in ice as she was finishing her panel. Wow! That is just amazing and inspiring.<\/em><\/p>\n
