Depth and Breadth: Quiltmaking in the 21st Century
Butler Institute of American Art, Ohio
I have been invited to participate in an exhibit at the Butler Institute of American Art this fall. My first invitational museum show. Yay. The show is being curated by Mary Lou Alexander, a woman I met several years back in an artist workshop.
Depth and Breadth: Quiltmaking in the 21st Century
Curator’s Comments: In an attempt to demonstrate the breadth of approaches to fine art quiltmaking today, I have invited five accomplished, well established artists to exhibit their work. Each is asked to submit 5 or 6 pieces that illustrate the depth and variety of of her/his work. Each artist approaches quiltmaking in a singular way, and each brings superb craftsmanship and distinctive imagery to her/his work. In this way I hope to inform the viewer of the depth and breadth of fine art quiltmaking as exhibited by 5 contemporary masters of the medium.
October 12, 2008 through January 4, 2009.
Participating Artists:
Bob Adams, Lafayette, IN
Lisa Call, Parker, CO
Jan Myers-Newbury, Pittsburgh, PA
June O’Neil , Cleveland Heights, OH
Jen Swearington, Asheville, NC
