topic of "fire". I used a "mind Mapping" technique from Lily Kern's journal class. I wanted to pursue the idea of words as fire, that singe and destroy people, putting negativity and toxins into the universe. This is the design I came up with, with the shape on the left symbolizing a mouth, and the radiating triangles representing verbal fire. I called this quilt "Ready, Aim, Fire".It has received some attention when it has been displayed in shows and was chosen by the Centre for the Arts for their publicity advertising the quilt show at the gallery in May 2007.
Here is my quilt (bottom right) on their 2007 exhibition flyer.
It was an honour to have my little quilt chosen for this purpose, to be able to promote the concept of quilts as "art", and to have quilts included as part of the gallery exhibitions.Very exciting!
