Smaller shows invite you to linger and reflect. SJMQT mounts very interesting displays. You saw several quilt exhibits in India as I recall. At least I have Geeta Khandelwal's book you recommended. So much inspiration!

The mix of anonymous (found) quilts with current art (many of which were created with found objects) is stellar. His layout highlights the visual connections between times and places. As he mentioned, since magazines were readily available to people in even remote areas, the same visual symbols became available and meaningful to almost everyone.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-80344651613236118712015-08-23T02:10:12.665-05:002015-08-23T02:10:12.665-05:00Wow what a fabulous exhibition - yet again I find ...Wow what a fabulous exhibition - yet again I find myself wishing I lived nearer! Unconventional and Unexpected is one of my favourite books and I would love to see anything Kiracofe had curated; I particularly like that he is mixing older quilts with contemporary work - it sounds so exciting. It's interesting too to see the work from your book study group and how different each person's take is. Being able to do this in person always sounds like the best fun.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-11669931405168186852015-08-22T18:38:20.637-05:002015-08-22T18:38:20.637-05:00They have fabulous exhibits every time I go throug...They have fabulous exhibits every time I go through.
