Interpretative Labels

Label

"Quilting is a two-dimensional medium, but I like to play with the illusion of three. My quilts have a sense of depth that goes beyond the surface. Elements seem to float above the surface or recede into the depths of the quilt. Leaves float, balls bounce, satellites orbit planets. My goal is to encourage the viewer to look into the quilt, rather than just at it."

Artist Commentary

Label

"Walking at dusk: life is happening inside the houses I walk by. Lights are coming on here and there and people are moving about. No matter what is happening in my own life this is clear: life goes on."
