My weeklong trip to Washington
DC and New York City is coming to an end, and I am still marveling at the Sacred Threads
exhibit I saw near Dulles Airport. It has been set up, literally as a
labyrinth. When you walk into the large room and begin to wind your way through
the art, with meditative music in the background, you feel like you are
entering an altered state. Congratulations to Lisa Ellis and Christine Adams
for putting together such a high quality show.
If you live in the area, I urge you to get over there this week or by this
weekend, before it is packed up and gone forever.
Here
in New York, I went to see the Punk Fashion exhibit at the Met, and I've
been working on the SAQA fundraiser collection "Urban Textures" at
the Andover offices. We are sending out artwork to the factory and based on the
results, will choose the final artists. So far the collection is coming
together beautifully, and we are excited to see how this collection will raise
money for SAQA.
I also had lunch at a private club with a quilt collector, then walked back
through my old stomping grounds in the garment district, stopping to pick up
some gold clasps in a costume trim shop. Looking at lots of beads, sequins and
embroidery trims got my creative juices running, and I am anxious to get home
to my studio.
Are you keeping cool in this super summer heat?
