Pieced Together: Inspirations in Collages and Quilts
Feb. 06, 2010 - Mar. 28, 2010
Inspiration can come from any experience as we see, feel, smell, taste and hear the world around us. It may come from the beauty of nature, the majesty of a building, the enjoyment of a different food, the entrancement of a musical passage, or the scent of a garden. Expression is how we create what our mind experiences.
Pieced Together: Inspirations in Collages and Quilts celebrates the work of two accomplished artists who gain their inspiration from the world around them. Suzanne Marshall uses fabric to create quilted works of art that reflect international people, places and events. Eleanor Winters creates small scale works of paper and calligraphy inspired by traditional quilt designs and by magnificent stained glass windows in European cathedrals.
The artisans will exhibit their works and present lectures and workshops on the process they use to express their inspiration.
- Location: Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan
- Admission: Exhibit admission free. Tours of estate $10
