Sanctuary? is Sue's imagination of a future in which there's no snow left on Antarctica and it's too warm for penguins to reproduce. So an artificial environment has had to be created for a penguin rookery. The environment itself is a geodesic dome in which the penguins live inside, powered by a coal-fired furnace that spews out smoke that generates electricity to power an air-conditioner that cools the penguins. Under the dome, there are about 100 different uniquely designed penguins each individually dye-painted with their own distinct details in the quilting. The quilt itself is primarily dye-painted, with some metallic labels on the equipment, and the rocks and smoke feature fabric-painted touch-ups.
