I am thrilled to announce that
Squirrel and Locust has been accepted for the SAQA Exhibit, Metamorphosis. The juror is David Hornung. The exhibit will debut at the
International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX in November, travel to the Chicago Festival in April, 2019, and further dates and venues through 2021 are TBD.
From the prospectus, the Show Concept:
Metamorphosis generates transformative change in shape, nature or structure. Just as animals physically develop and change from birth to maturity, concepts, ideas and even the landscape of the
earth itself progress through many stages. Change may be positive, negative, frightening or enlightening. Consider physical changes, philosophical changes or personal life changes and the inevitability of decay as a process of change. Realistic, representational, and abstract work will be considered.
SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) exhibits are highly competitive, due to the deep and wide talent pool of its members, so I feel a bit like I've won the lottery.
That being said, I've always had a particular love for this quilt of mine--I mean, look at that bit of vintage needlework! What are those romantic squirrels doing? Contrasted with the skull print cyanotypes, it's a powerful yet accessible work, I think. I'm so glad for the opportunity to send it out into the world.
