Artist’s Statement:
Breathe is a minimalist, modern abstract piece hoping to leave the viewer with the feeling of air, of lightness, of calm. This quilt has an industrial, modern style with matchstick hand-drawn quilting and texture accentuated by shrinkage from the wash. The tension between the texture and the quiet shapes and colours adds interest and engagement.Award:
