Motion from the Contemporary QuiltArt Association | ||||||
November 21, 2014 - February 23, 2015 Motion is a key concept in design. By combining elements such as line, shape, and texture that make the eye move over the work, an artist can convey motion. Movement can be suggested visually through repetition, directional lines, placement of objects, diagonal lines, and gestural lines. A symbolic representation of movement can create an exciting abstract composition. As a group, CQA is diverse in styles, media, and techniques. Members are not restricted by traditional definitions of quilting, but are driven to express thoughts and feelings through the medium of quilting. Design, style, color, technique, and composition are all addressed in members’ work. Surface design by some CQA artists includes dyeing yardage, painting, stenciling, and printing on materials to create special effects. Some work abstractly; some create representational images. The only constant is that CQA members continue to move and expand the definition of the quilt as art. For more information go here http://www.quiltmuseum.org/current-exhibits.html |
