Sometimes there is someone doing something so different, and so unusual that it just grabs your attention, and provokes thought for a long time to come.
I’d like to show you Kathryn’s work:
She calls this The Detroit Quilt, in her Foreclosure Series.
Kathryn is an Urban Planner, and she was distressed by the foreclosures. Her reflections lead her to do a series of quilts. They can be seen on her blog.
Here you can begin to see how her work moves into quilting.
Her quilts are striking. They have a raw quality. And the frayed edges and delicate cut outs accurately reflect their subject matter.
