This exhibition presents works constructed by 39 international contemporary quiltmakers. From the basic description of a quilt (layers of fabric held together by stitches), these artists have pushed technique, concept, and style in new directions. Many of the quilts challenge the traditional concept of a two-dimensional pieced object in both their sculptural presentation and use of unconventional materials. On the leading edge of such innovations are the quiltmakers applying surface design techniques to their materials, making their art form personal from its inception. Their sometimes humorous marks and images on fabric portray environmental concerns, political and social comments, life narrative, and cultural and generational differences.
