Color Vortex

"Color Vortex" has an explosion of colorful blocks in the center of a gray background, radiating out to abstract curves. Creating lines and shapes directly out of fabric is liberating, engaging me in a dialogue with my materials. The final touch is the texture created by the irregularly spaced vertical stitching lines, pulling the composition into a cohesive whole.

Design pieced improvisationally from cotton fabric. Freehand quilted on a home sewing machine by the artist. Hanging sleeve and rod included. Easily hangs from two small nails in the wall.
