TAPESTRIES
& WALL PANELS
Emily
DuBois
I believe that art lives
beyond technology and duality. In weaving and dyeing. I
look for conditions where matter transforms, through energy,
into spirit
Lynn
Basa
She takes her time getting to know her clients...and
then she wraps up their very heart in a rug or tapestry
designed especially for them...
Martha
Matthews
I have chosen the term "drawing with
the sewing machine" because the technique is the same
as the process of drawing.
Lynn
Heller
Lynne Heller is a Canadian textile artist
working in the quiltmaking tradition.
(Ed. note: some series are VERY Fine-Art/Installational
in nature... worth a look!)

The
Quilts of Gee's Bend
(traveling)
The 70 quilts in the exhibition, created by 45 women, provide
a fascinating look at the work of 20th-century artists who lived
and worked in solitude. Gee´s Bend is located in southwest
Alabama on a sliver of land five miles long and eight miles wide,
a virtual island surrounded by a bend in the Alabama River. The
quilters´ use of motifs, techniques, and textiles endured
and evolved over the course of the century. They were motivated
to create the quilts by the need to keep their families warm,
and they used rags and scraps of fabrics from their everyday lives—corduroy,
denim, cotton sheets, and well-worn clothing. Like many American
quilters, they transformed a necessity into a work of art—but
their bold, innovative approach to design is unique

Two Visionaries: Frances Abell Brand and Molly
Upton
Museum
of American Quilter's Society (KY) now - March 8,2003
The quilts made by Frances Abell Brand represent 26 years
of her work, 1974 to 2002. Her quilts are a natural growth and
extension of her early work studying and perfecting the techniques
found in early American decoration. It is here that we see the
love of traditional elements, adapted from historical designs,
reinterpreted in fabrics found in quilts but those necessary to
serve her purpose.
Three
years of Molly Upton's work are represented in this exhibit, 1974
to her death at age 23 in 1976. Her quilts spring from her own
need and creative passion. Before quilting had a chance to take
a firm hold and become a revival, Molly was using fabric to express
her unique creative ideas. She created quilts that have survived
and are as vibrant and powerful today as when they were created
in the 1970's.
