Abstract Art Quilt Series
It's really fun to design and create abstract art quilts! The viewer can interpret them any way they choose, although I generally have specific concepts in mind when I design them, others were pure improvisations.
For example, "Meeting of the Minds" was designed to represent the meeting of a linear thinker with a multi-tasker. "Friendship" was based on the song, "Make New Friends" (one is silver and the other is gold). "Improvisation #7" could also be called "Valentine's Day." "Balancing Act" was an exercise in balancing monochromatic shapes and space.
"Friendship" and "Meeting of the Minds," a diptych.
"Meeting of the Minds" has been shown in SAQA Regional Exhibit "Imagination One by Four," juried by Maggie Vanderweit in 2021 and several other juried exhibitions.
