Here is the first of three posting of the
Close Up Pictures from our 7th Reveal with Artist Statements.
“Frankly It’s Mine”
René
This challenge was to be a “Black & White” challenge and was
to be inspired by either an artist or artwork. You could also only add
the color of the challenge that you yourself handed out earlier in our
challenge year. That was purple for me, so that is why my piece is
black, white and purple. I’ve always loved many of the windows created by
Frank Lloyd Wright so I decided to try and create a window of my own. If
you look closely you can see the “chevron” parts of the window that Frank Lloyd
Wright is so well known for. Each piece of fabric in my window was
painstakingly cut out by hand and then fused down onto a muslin
background. Then the “leaded” black strips were also cut and fused on
top” of the intersections of the colored pieces. I machine quilted each
of the “leaded strips” then to give the piece a bit of dimension. The
name of my piece you ask??? I call it “Frankly Mine”.
"Musiques sans Frontières"
Annick
Guidelines: The piece must be black and white with one of the colors from
your challenge (ie. Annick could use red or blue).
The piece must be inspired by a specific piece of art or by an artist - it doesn't have to be a painting, it could be a sculpture or even a piece of music that inspires you -- art is all around us!
My last piece had to represent Central and North America. Music was going to be my art representation. I love the blues. I was brainstorming out loud with my husband when he suggested Chess Records and a chess board. Perfect!! My quilt is built like a chess board in black and white, and the LP represents the record label. Finally, my hint of red is a map representing Central America, the USA and Canada. My world map is now complete.

What a fantastic journey with my girlfriends, and with my own self - full of inspiring surprises!
The balance of CC#7 pieces
will be posted over the next few days.
