Description:
Artist Statement: "Chroma came from my desire to design a dramatic and deceptive round quilt, that plays with the eye. I love the striking effect of a two tone quilt but wanted to bring in some color with the quilting. I used eight colors of thread and divided the geometric design into eight teardrop shapes; each tear drop was quilted with a different color. The teardrops radiate around the quilt, making it so that the colors of thread overlap each other. Because the density of the quilting increases as you get closer to the center, the saturation of the color the thread is more prominent. In addition, the eight colors of thread were also used as bobbin thread so that the same color-fading effect can be seen on the backing as well. As I experience life my outlook on issues shifts to deeper than just "black and white".
