These two small wall quilts date from early 2002.\u00a0 \u00a0Looking through archived images this morning I found the one on the right, and though I remembered it, and occasionally come across it in the deepest recesses of my storage area.\u00a0 For a while I couldn’t remember what on earth I called it, but eventually I did, and I now believe the illustrated catalogue to be complete.\u00a0 The key word is ‘believe’, leaving some wiggle room for another discovery.<\/p>\n

Mirage 1\u00a0<\/em>was really just a sample to see how fine I could go with a wavy line approach, and gently waving lines like these have characterised my technique ever since.\u00a0 It’s no great art work, but a little piece I love and usually take to any technical workshop that includes freehand piecing.\u00a0 I had just been\u00a0inspired by the new appearance of\u00a0very<\/em> finely pieced works by well known Australian artist and friend,\u00a0Margery Goodall<\/a>, which has since become a signature element in her textile art.\u00a0\u00a0The title reflects the shimmering quality of a mirage.<\/p>\n

Oscuro<\/em>\u00a0also has little artistic merit, but is another piece I needed to make.\u00a0 The arcs of colour which began appearing in my work several years before seemed appropriate for those unforgettable images of rolling, falling, clouds of smoke, ash, all manner of debris, that filled our minds following New York’s Twin Towers attack in 2001.\u00a0 The barely visible machine quilted pattern is of same-colour grey arcs over the entire quilt.\u00a0\u00a0Oscuro <\/em>is\u00a0spanish for dark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
