Crafts National 40 Installation Photos
Sue Reno very kindly sent me some installation photos of my work at Crafts National 40, which opened earlier this month in State College, Pennsylvania. I blogged about this juried show earlier. It runs until July 16 if you are in the area.
Here is a photo of my 2 pieces Structures #56 (48"x58" far left) and Structures #53 (66"x41" far right) ©2006:
Sue wrote in her email to me: "You have a prime spot and it looks great! … To orient you a bit, the entrance to the gallery is just behind Carol Taylor’s work [next photo], and my piece is just opposite of one of yours. The exhibit flowed very nicely. "
Thanks Sue!
Sue also has a piece in the show and won one of the Awards of Merit. Eleanor McCain, another quilter, also won with her piece Canyon Study 1. Congratulations Sue and Eleanor!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments about my day job. I have more thoughts on it and some responses to your words but I’m headed to the studio for the evening. For the first time in weeks I came home without my laptop in tow with work to be done. [Truth is the laptop is busy doing a build of our software overnight so I couldn’t bring it home.]

Is the photo showing your new work? They appear to be larger scale.

Very striking show. YOu all did a wonderful job, and who ever hung the show did a good job too. Go for it! You are showing what can happen to a quilt. Excellent. Maude

Lisa, I love the one in the left corner in red hues. Very nice. Glad the laptop stayed at home and you had some studio time!

Thanks all. I’ve updated the posting with the sizes. I do work fairly large Pat!
Charmaine - that one is actually orange and purple - not red. I’ll post better pictures of it tonight or tomorrow.

Looks gorgeous. Your work looks great against the dark walls.

Handsome! I never would have put your work on black, but it looks nice. The former curator in me says, “Why didn’t they paint the pedestals black??!!!”

The pieces look beautiful here. Hope I can see them in real life someday.

Stunning piece on the left. I love the large scale and bold bright lines in both pieces. I wonder what the quilting looks like up close?
Congrats Lisa,
Kit

Funny Alyson - I didn’t notice the white pedestals til you mentioned them. Hm - guess I was just looking at my work.
I design a lot of my work on a black wall so I see them that way all the time. I think they generally look better on white but they do look nice here.
Kit I’ll post some detail shots soon.
Thanks everyone!
