Fierce and Unrelenting - Art Quilt

42.5”H x 39.5”W

Feel it: wind is force made tangible. Against its indiscriminate assault, all one can do is dig deep and hold on. “This is how the wind shifts: Like a human, heavy and heavy, Who does not care.” (from “This is How the Wind Shifts” by Wallace Stevens)

I was interested as I created this work in contrasting the above and below. I created the sky by hand printing onto thin polyester fabric, creating ethereal watercolor-like patterns. Below the ground, colors are richer, patterns are heavier, and I have worked on opaque muslin fabric.

Monotype printing by hand and direct painting with archival acrylic paints. Includes relief printing, resist printing, stencils and direct painting. Collage construction and machine stitching and quilting. The entire surface is richly textured with quilting stitching.

Finishing: clean fabric-faced edges, fabric-backed. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation. Hangs easily on a single picture hook. All collaging is with archival matte acrylic medium, (which is invisible) and also protects the surface.

PRICE INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING AND SALES TAX. (Shipments via regular ground service, to addresses in the contiguous US)
