Playmat

Making a king size 'playmat', a scaled up version of the new baby's activity playmat that incorporated a 'getting inside' a return to a place of satin safety. Encouraging sensual memory, the fur of a teddy, the softness of a blanket label, the warmth of flanelette. The fetish leatherette cushions are screen printed with enlarged nipples, male on one side, female on the other. Freud thought of children as sexual beings with erogenous areas.
