Swirl Contour #1

Cotton with silk, cotton batting, polyester craft board, cotton back

One of my earliest memories is feeling compelled to touch and run my hands over bright, shiny colorful plastic buttons on a store rack. The same fluttery thrill bubbles up when I see intense color in nature, art and everyday objects. I seek to capture this feeling in my textile art. Swirl Contour #1 suggests movement and fluidity to evoke a sense of energy and whimsy. The irregular contour provides a surprising element to the expected square shape of most found in quilts.
