Description: The background text is a poem describing the choices we make during our lives. It is written in colours progressing through the full spectrum. This symbolises the development of our personalities and the current patterns of our lives, which are influenced by combinations of preceding events. The word “CHOICES” is cut from felt, made from merino fleece, and the word “influences” is created in silk. These words overlay the background text, showing that, despite the vagaries of fate, we are all indeed capable of exercising some control over our own lives.
