Love is Blind

I made this sculpture out of carpet samples.  Each colour is a different sample that I adhered to a foam core and I lined the back with a nice piece of leather.  I had salvaged the carpet samples from 'la poubelle' of a flooring showroom ages ago.  I knew these pieces were precious and I wanted to make something special with them.  So this is what was made:  the arrangement of the circles represent letters in braille and it spells LOVE.  I tried teaching myself braille from a braille book that I also found in my dumpster diving.  Braille is very hard to learn.
