Just Below the Surface Art Quilt
Just Below the Surface Art Quilt
40.5”H x 44.5”W
Digging in our garden, just a shovelful below the surface and only a foot away from the driveway, I unearthed a wondrously beautiful, intricate, intriguing tangle of rocks and roots. I was struck at once by the complexity. Microbes. Veins. Organisms. Ecosystems. And I was inspired to give voice to this vitality, just below the surface and usually invisible. It’s more than just dirt. It’s rock music.
Transfers of original photos to muslin. Hand printed (monotypes and relief and resist prints) with acrylic paint on muslin, collaged and stitch construction, with machine stitched details. Finishing: bound fabric-backed. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation. All collaging is with archival matte acrylic medium, which is also used over the surface.
This work will be exhibited September 28- November 23 , 2024 as part of "Imagery in Fiber" at the View Art Center in Old Forge, New York.
