Our Lady: Cosmic Illusion #24

Artist: Salli McQuaid        Quilt name: Our Lady          Date: 2008        Size: 20-1/2”w x 23-1/2”h

Artist's Statement:   

Texas is a country, not a state. The sun burns so steadily and the weather is so steamy that it seems like there are three suns, not one. Her topography comprises the Gulf, bayous, the Piney Woods, hill country, deserts, mesas, and vast flatlands. The armadillo is our state animal and the bluebell, our state flower. Buildings loom tall, like talismans against the sky. Texas imagery is depicted in “Our Lady,” as is the Holy Mother. The horse is an icon of Texas culture, and Our Lady holds a special place for the horse in her heart.
