Elin Noble: Vox Stellarum - La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum

Textile artist, Elin Noble, has transformed the third floor galleries into an installation using black and white silk panels featuring irregular horizontal and vertical geometrical shapes. The panels are hung in sets, allowing a play of overlapping shapes and moiré patterns. She has spent more than 30 years investigating the nuances of applying dye to cloth. In the last 10 years she has focused primarily on a historical clamp-dye resist process from Japan known as itajime, a process by which luminous and complex colors and patterns are dyed on cloth.
