Indepth Arts News: "The Fiber Revolution: Quilts As Art" 2003-09-03 until 2003-10-31 Ellen Traut Collection Gallery Hartford, CT, USA United States of America
Art quilts are highly collectible artwork. Judy Weinstein of the Greater
Hartford Arts Council said, "I was just bowled over by the talents of the
artists ... absolutely gorgeous!" Allison Hunnicutt, co-manager of the Chen
Gallery at Central Connecticut State University, said, "The work is so
beautiful. I cannot believe how beautiful it is!" These art quilts are by
no means meant to lay folded at the foot of a bed, but rather hung on the
wall like oil or watercolor paintings. These artists use fiber as their
medium: dyeing it, painting it, cutting it, tearing it, stamping it, fusing
it and embellishing it. The final step, the quilting of the surface, brings
a dimensional depth to the artwork that mere paint cannot.
Participating artists include: Martha Sielman, Virginia Abrams, Deborah
Barr, Rachel Cochran, Judy Cuddihee, Joan Dreyer, Rayna Gillman, Jutta
Halpin, Gloria Hansen, Celeste Kelly, Kevan Rupp Lunney, Barbara Barrick
McKie, E. Gaynell Meij, Ed Johnetta Miller, Jo Neimann, Judith Reilly,
Joanie San Chirico, Carol Sara Schepps, Deborah Tiryung Sidwell, and Carolyn
Lee Vehslage.
