Rooted In Tradition – Utah
Structures #5 ©2002 40" x 68"
I was asked to donate one of my Structures quilts to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum a few years back for their new art quilt collection: “Rooted In Tradition: Art Quilts from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum”.
The quilts from this show were displayed in Golden, Colorado last summer and a portion of the work is now touring the country. It’s currently showing at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, University of Utah through Oct. 15. The museum is open Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m-5 p.m.; Wednesday until 8 p.m.; weekends, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is adults, $5; youths (6-18), seniors, $3. For more information phone check out the museums website at: www.umfa.utah.edu.
The show is an interesting retrospective of the art quilt movement from the 1980s through the present with a lot of top name quilt artists included in the collection such as Michael James, Nancy Erickson, Joan Lintault, Erika Carter, Jane Dunnewold, and Yvonne Porcella . It was an honor to be included in the exhibit.
The piece I donated is Structures #5, shown above. The show in Utah was recently reviewed by the DeseretNews and the review appears here: DeseretNews.com. A detail of my piece is included on this website.
The museum published a book of the collection and it can be purchased from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum Gift Shop or on line at Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum (scroll to middle of the page).
