Alaskan artist Ree Nancarrow creates art quilts that incorporate personally created fabrics with surface design techniques that have evolved over her long creative career. Her works vary from representational to abstract, seeking to depict the character of a place or life form found in an environment rather than portraying specific places in the world.
Her art quilts draw imagery from a lifetime of experience drawing, photographing, silk-screening, stenciling, stamping, painting, and dyeing fabric. Working intuitively, she digitally designs her fabrics, creating the patterns, textures and colors which have become unique hallmarks of her work. The elaborately quilted surfaces, which enhance her multi-layered imagery, are done by hand.
