Description:
Artist Statement: "The familiar New York Beauty block gets an unexpected makeover with scale and vivid color. The blocks are all made from the same fabrics, but dense straight-line quilting with different thread colors provides a nuance of visual variation and definition. The graphic blocks bring to mind the colorful blooms, sharp spines, and round shapes of the prickly pear cactus."
