That pause, filled with possibilities and bursting with energy, is what I wanted to convey with my piece; the anticipation that's experienced in the silence before something comes into being or happens.
The yellow color palette is a nod to the phrase, Silence is golden. I wanted to create a feeling of multiple possibilities, hence all the different shapes bubbling to the surface. I used all manner of materials including commercial cottons, hand painted fabrics, and paper towels that were tinted with watercolors.
Vivien, There is a lot of pent up energy in your piece, and I can imagine you holding your breath! Lovely textures and placement of the shapes.-
ReplyDeleteThis is simply stunning! Love your use of shapes & lines, showing a thrust from silence towards action.

ReplyDeleteFun and full of energy, I love the shapes and fabric choices. All work together so well
ReplyDeleteyour quilt is full of energy but the silence is also there. I love your fabric and shape choices. Sabine
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Vivien. I love the saying you have used. The colours and shapes just sing!
ReplyDeleteA very graphic quilt with lots of variety in colour and pattern but my favorite part is the texture you have achieved in the background. This gives a lot of interest to what could have been dead space without detracting from the shapes and movement in the foreground.
