Ipcar and Abeyta…they could be quilters….

Deborah, also on the artful quilters ring, introduced me today to Dahlov Ipcar. This nearly 88 year old woman is still producing fantastic art…. and a comment about her work could be done in cloth reminded me of having that same reaction to Tony Abeyta.

Abeyta has several pieces that look to me like they could easily be art quilts: Magpies and Trio
are the first two artworks I’ve ever printed off the computer (I’m careful with those expensive ink cartridges!), and still have them pinned to my design wall for inspiration. Rememberance #18 isn’t my cup of tea, but tell me that isn’t a quilt in paint? and Four Figures makes me think of Michele Hardy’s colorfields pieces. And just because I love them, Intimate Place #1 and Procession make me think of Gustav Klimt’s shimmery works…..but somehow I find more soul in Abeyta’s works….

Now, time to work….
