SAQA have an exhibition deadline coming up for the subject Turmoil. I entered a quilt on the parallel exhibition called Tranquility. It is very soft and pastel in colour – rusted and naturally dyed fabrics. I will post it when I hear whether it got in or not!!! In the meantime, here is Turmoil waiting to be bound, a task I always put off if I can.
I took it over to friends last weekend who looked at it for a few minutes before commenting that it was disturbing and uncomfortable to look at – that works for me. Turmoil it is. I need to bind, sleeve and label in in the next few days. Closing date is 29th February – Leap Year Day.
I hope you are working hard – Chrisse
It is disturbing but in a good way! I’ve been studying it to try and analyze why and come to the conclusion that it’s the spiral movement of the long sections counteracted with the pattern then interrupted by the hole. I can’t stop looking at it, it’s mesmerizing k3n x
Thanks, k3n. I have started the binding – all laid out on the cutting mat!
