It has been awhile since I last wrote... busy working on new pieces....not enough hours in the day.
This is called Reality and Rhetoric and is 2.6m wide and relates to the flooding on the Somerset Levels last year.
This will be previewed at Quilt Art's 30 Anniversary exhibition called "Dialogues" which opens 29 March, until 2nd August at the Max Berk Museum, Heidelberg, then comes to the UK to the Quilt Museum in York 11th September - 31 October.
This is a detail and you can see the writing behind the slats of transferred fabric. It covers the social and economic history of the Somerset Levels and includes the political involvement last year during the flooding.
We will also be having a 2nd exhibition called Small Talk that will be at the Festival of Quilts from the 6th - 9th August, at the NEC Birmingham, then travels to the Silk Museum in Macclesfield from the 15th September - 30th October. We have a new book that has been written by Dr. Susan Marks, and designed by Charlotte Yde) which will feature work from both exhibitions and be on sale at all the venues. You can find more information on www.quiltart.eu
I will have more new work to share soon, - It is a busy exhibitng year for me.
Thanks for reading.
