Carole Harris: Improvisations
at Finlandia Gallery
Hancock, Michigan
Through September 11, 2010
 Carole Harris - "Blues in the Night" Filled with saturated color and complex patterns, Carole Harris's quilts evoke the rhythms, energy and movement found in African-American music, particularly Blues and Jazz. "I try to think of my work as the visualization of the music that inspires me," notes Harris. "Quilts are like paintings, full of color, texture and design." Harris's visual vocabulary comes from a mixture of traditional quilt patterns, forged with some of her own imagery, impressions and experimentations.
Closing reception/Artist lecture: Sept. 9th 7-8:30 p.m.
Finlandia Gallery
601 Quincy Street
Hancock, MI
906-487-7274
