A Chu-chr is a colored line/fabric work which is hung from Heaven to Earth (ceiling to floor) according to ancient Chinese Feng Shui tradition. The top color of the Chu-chr corresponds with one of the eight sides/areas of the bagua, representing the aspirations or life situations of human beings. It is derived from The Book of Changes (I Ching). By hanging a Chu-chr in the proper area of the room, intention is kept in the spiritual energy of the environment. The lower strands of the Chu-chr help manifest forthcoming good by intensifying our focus and keeping us alert to possibilities in the following areas: Career (Black), Knowledge (Black/Blue/Green), Family/Health (Green), Wealth/Prosperity (Blue/Purple/Red), Fame (Red), Romance/Marriage (Red/Pink/White), Creativity/Children (White), and Helpful People/Travel (White/Gray/Black).

The largest image below is The Wedding Bower Chu-Chr (click to see detail). This hanging fabric piece has an inner core of silk habutae and an outer core of silk chiffon. The images are of butterflies and dragonflies, common symbols of change; the color relates to the first chakra, passion, and fire. The Wedding Bower Chu-chr comes with all eight color strands. It is an interactive piece, a perfect wedding gift or decorative installation for a wedding. It is a commissioned work. Allow four weeks for delivery.

The artist has created eight Chu-chr fabric hangings based on the eight Feng Shui Bagua in union with Caribbean Taino Indian cultural symbols. All eight are complete: Aco—Knowledge, Legends—Fame, Mata Mata—Career, Coa—Helpful People, Atabey & Guayaba—Relationships, Guaiza—Family, Bayonel—Prosperity, and Kofi—Creativity. They are 12 inches wide, approximately 18 inches long, and hang with 12 inch strands in the same colors.
