Evolutions Art Quilt Exhibit

Yay!  I have been selected to exhibit two art quilts in Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum’s Evolutions 2019 Exhibit, which runs from July 22 to October 19th.  This is a biennial exhibit featuring international quilt artists with their best interpretation of either personal or global evolution.  It’s a “celebration of yesterday’s traditions, as well as tomorrow’s innovations”.

Below is “Awakening” which is a small wall hanging created with gelli prints, painted used dryer sheets and spun polyester stitched and fused to batting.  I have printed a personal photo onto organza and used hand and machine stitching to enhance the surface.

Below is “Breakthrough” which used painted organza, shredded paper and cording as a reference to the Japanese tradition of filling cracks in china or pottery with gold.  I have added hand and machine stitching and couched decorative thread to embellish the surface.
