Description
On loan from the National Quilt Museum and presented by The Coppell Arts Council and Coppell Creatives.
The National Quilt Museum believes that the work of today’s quilters is extraordinary artwork that creates a unique and wonderful sensory experience to all who view it. Individuals who make quilts and fiber art are exceptionally talented artists that deserve recognition and respect. This exhibition pays homage to the artists who use the traditional technique of hand quilting to transform fabric and thread into works of art.
This selection of 15 quilts features the best of contemporary quilting, with unparalleled combinations of fibers, techniques, and subjects. Contemporary artists employ varied materials such as cotton, silk, and dyes to create compositions inspired by their own histories, traditions, and lived experiences. These ideas take form in complex figures, florals, and geometric shapes that relate to patterns across time and space.
