Description:
Artist Statement: "Hand drawn inset, stacked curves in multitude of colors contrast with heavyweight slub black linen creating the improv impression of the edge of outer orbit. Keeping the linen from stretching on the bias when piecing was challenging, but worth it. The repetition of the curved orbit is echoed subtly with color matched thread, adding just a bit of texture to the “void” of deep space."
Techniques Used: Machine Pieced, Improvisational Piecing, Machine Quilted Without a Frame (Domestic)
