Informazioni sul libro
Amish quilt patterns have specific names such as Sunshine and Shadow or Tumbling Blocks, abstract geometric shapes created by piecing bits of colored fabric together and intricate stitching often in the form of feathers or floral designs. As the quilters discover ways to make their art distinctively their own, I explored composition, design and color. My quilts are photographic composites starting with my interpretation of an Amish pattern. I chose macro photographs of flowers using their vibrant colors for “fabric” and the texture created by light and shadow to represent “stitching”. And, in some way, using a flower pays homage to the generations of quiltmakers who have preserved and evolved this once humble craft into museum quality artforms.
