FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Studio Art Quilt Associates’ Transformations 2007: Reverberations will be at the Visions Art Quilt Gallery in San Diego from April 4 – May 25, 2008. This exhibit premiered at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England and then traveled to the Quilt Indulgence Festival in New South Wales, Australia. It will have just finished a run at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey, Michigan (January 12 – March 8, 2008) before coming to San Diego.
Juror and art quilt expert Sandra Sider wrote: “My goal in jurying this exhibition was to select a group of quilts in which ideas or emotions were successfully expressed through color, line, and texture. I looked for quilts in which artists had grappled with a concept or emotion, creating surfaces that enabled viewers to respond to the thought behind the art. My subtitle for the exhibition, Reverberations, resulted from the visual dialogues between various quilts, which became evident during the jury process. Through shape, color, texture, or idea, these works speak to each other in the archetypal language of quilts.”
