If you are lucky enough to live on the downhill side of the Rocky Mountains you often experience a great sense of Place. Running errands you look up from a stoplight and there is the Colorado National Monument. Grand Mesa seems to be near one time and far another. Snow and rainbows highlight the Bookcliffs. Great sunsets abound. Within short distances otherworldly rock formations intrigue. For an artist, this region is a constantly changing muse. In this juried show The Art Quilt Association artists explore life out here in the west, the Fibers of the Purple Sage.
NEWS
Fibers of the Purple Sage first appeared in the galleries at Grand Junction, Colorado City Hall in spring 2006. Selected works from this exhibit will appear next at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, Colorado this fall from October 24, 2006 to January 20, 2007. Go to the Museum website to get specifics about the exhibit, www.rmqm.org.
Tana LaDuke’s “A Thin Line Between Dusk and Dawn” was chosen by juror and national quilt authority Alison Goss as most representative of theme.
