Quilts from Sweden to Israel

Last weeekend was the opening of maybe the biggest Art Quilt exhibition in Germany  in modern time.

Karlsruhe was the very well choosen place for this event.

Actually it was two exhibition in the same time. The  already famous Color Improvisation Art Quilt exhibition, curated by Nancy Crow and the other one was invited artists from mainly Europe curated by Ginie Curtze.

The exhibition is running from the 8 of May until the 12th of June in Regierungspräsidium,Karlsruhe.

The exhibition was opened by the burgermeister of Karlsruhe and other outstanding official persons from Karlsruhe University.

There were music played and sang in gaellish, very beatifully.

About 400 people were coming this first day of the exhibition.

and while listening to the visitors comments, it was all over a high level of exhibited quilts.

And I agree!!

Beeing very occupied explaining my own quilts to visitors,I came home with very bad photos, specially from my own quilts.

Here two quilts from Verena Friske  Germany,which she made during workshops with Nancy Crow in Faler Switzerland

Here comes some of my own quilts.

This one is first quilted and the painted with acylic

This Diptyk, called Balance is a first experiment, on how little color variation and variation of form and repetion is needed

to still make a picture and to learn to rip off, instead of adding some more.

Simply to find the point of balance.

These four Quilts are discharged in layers from black fabric

This picture was so dark that I manipulated them to black and white.Interesting contrast!!

The left one is polewrapped. the right one is discharged.

Back to Sweden and to my work as a physician.

The show must go on.
