Gallery ThreeThe Subdivision Series
(Click on any image above for greater detail)
| The series called Subdivisions began during
the time the city in which I live in was and
still is expanding and planning. . Homogeneous
pre-fabricated houses and apartments seemingly
spring up overnight. Commercial businesses have
taken over what used to be farmland not five
years earlier. As I drive past these houses and
strip shopping malls that developers are
building, I wonder what this city's future will
hold. Is the notion of progress/expansion equals
prosperity always-such a positive direction for a
community? With all the new building projects
happening Interesting and fun!! I started by
using traditional pieced quilt tops that I have
previously stitched as a to explore this series.
I then deconstruct these and reassemble them with
other fabrics and materials to create a new and
more complex pieces. These fiber art quilts are
embellished with various unusual objects giving
the quilts an added sculptural dimension. Working
in this manner, I felt I could express my
concerns more deeply of the changes that were
happening around me.
