Event Description:
The inspiration for Fabric Impressions is the beautiful landscape of the Western United States, from Antelope Valley’s Poppy Reserve in the south to the aspen forests of the Sierra Nevada and to the Pacific Northwest. The techniques used in the show are perfect for depicting the larger landscape, as well as the more intimate landscapes and florals.
The primary technique used on the fabric landscapes is reminiscent of the pointillism of the neoimpressionist painters, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Where they used dots of paint, the quilting technique uses tiny pieces of fabric. The second technique in the show, fusible appliqué, is used mostly on the floral quilts and in parts of some of the landscapes.
