Talks offered:
VISUAL MUSIC: MY JOURNEY AS A QUILTER
A digital presentation about the origins and development of my quilting life: playing with colour, shape and line; looking at my different series, including my best known map series; and an introduction to my new digital work.
THE QUILTS OF GEE’S BEND
And other African-American influences in quilting.
African-American quilts have had a strong influence on contemporary quilting. We look in particular at the best known among them, the quilts made by the women in the isolated community of Gee’s Bend, in Alabama. Those quilts are considered works of art, and have been shown widely in the USA; I saw them myself at the Whitney Museum in New Work some 15 years ago. They did influence my quilting design and I will explain why and how. Work by other quilt artists which are relevant to this theme also feature in this digital presentation.
PHOTOGRAPHING ART QUILTS
A digital presentation to help makers understand the basic techniques necessary to take good photographs of their art quilts. It concentrates mostly on taking photos at home with natural light and a reasonable camera.
