Canadian Pioneer, wool quilt (detail)
When I packed up
Canadian Pioneer to ship to Quilts=Art=Quilts in Auburn, New York, I noticed something.
Those wool bundles that I had folded, tied onto the surface and then felted seem to resemble a bush of trees. They make me think of the huge thick forests in Canada that seem to act as barriers to human interaction with the land.
Trees protect the land, Maybe they hug it.
One of the jurors, Kathleen Loomis has written about this piece
here. She explains why it was given a first prize. Further information about Canadian Pioneer is

ReplyDeleteA wonderful piece, Judy! I was fortunate to attend the opening and I spent quite a bit of time in front it, exploring the textures and complexities. I think I would have hung it where it would have magnetically drawn me to it from a distance for its warm embrace. Now I will explore your website and blog to learn more about you and your beautiful work.
