Talking
Quilts |
||
|
"Talking Quilts" explores the visual textures of language as expressed through approximately twenty quilts made by women from the mid-nineteenth century through the present. This exhibition is the first to consider the aesthetic impact of words as they have been applied to quilts in letters that are fluid, childish, subtle, and bold. In each of these textiles, decisions of word choice, graphic strategy, and technique - embroidery, stencil, piecing, and appliqué - transform surfaces into monumental assertions of self-identity, statements of belief and support, and blankets of protective prayer.
