Beneath the Surface
Thursday, May 20th, 2010Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison came up with the idea for the Beneath the Surface exhibit, got the sponsors, juried the show, and are now doing a totally cool thing on their blog! My quilt is the portrait of my son, Joshua (recently blogged about at length, so only a small picture here):
Jamie and Leslie have sent each of the artists a list of questions, and it looks like we’ll hit 100 percent participation with the answers. Day by day they are adding the responses of the various artists to these questions:
1. How do you describe yourself?
2. What is your creative process? planning, drawing, notes, etc.
3. What’s your style? Abstract, pictorial, surface design, whole cloth, etc.
4. How long have you been a quilt maker/fiber artist?
5. Do you listen to music when you make art? what kind?
6. What do you do when you are blocked creatively?
7. Do you teach? What’s your favorite part about teaching?
8. Are there artistic endeavors that you have yet to do?
9. How do you balance your family life and art?
10. What is the best part about what you do?
If you’d like to see what I said, check out today’s post, here.
To see what all the others have said, go to the Dinner at 8 Artists blog and just keep going backwards through the posts! It’s wonderful reading!
Thanks to Moore’s sewing centers of southern California and Brother Sewing Machines for sponsoring the debut of the exhibit at the International Quilt Association show in Long Beach and to MistyFuse / Attached Inc. (loyal readers KNOW how much I love MistyFuse!) for sponsoring the continuation of the exhibit at International Quilt Festival in Houston this coming October/November. I’m so glad it will travel to Houston, since that means I’ll get to see it in the cloth!
