Artist's Statement
|
I made this quilt for the Dig-it-al Quilts exhibition in San
Antonio, TX. It was the first all-Texas Studio Art Quilts Associates
juried exhibition, and Light as a Feather actually
made it in.
I love this quilt because I made it right after we got back from Santa Fe, NM. On myriad metaphorical levels, it depicts the imagery, colors, light, topography, people, and spirit world that I so loved there. |
