| The Professional Art
Quilt Alliance-South is pleased to announce its fourth
annual international juried exhibition ARTQUILTSimages.
AQi is a fine art
exhibition of 29 art quilts that employ lens and needle
to narrate images that capture the artists’ imagination.
Exhibition artists combine these two modes of artistic
expression with a variety of media and materials--including
cyanotype, screenprinting, spirit transfer, shibori, 35mm
film, and found objects--to create innovative mixed media
and embellished art quilts that push the boundaries of
quilted art.
The exhibition premiers at the Page-Walker Arts &
History Center and is co-sponsored with the Town of
Cary Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department.
AQi will embark
upon a four state tour to the Pennsylvania National
Quilt Extravaganza, the Pacific International Quilt
Festival, the Greater Chicago Quilt Exposition, and
the Gallery of CK Media, formerly known as Primedia Gallery, in Golden, Colorado, where its viewing
is sponsored by Quiltmaker
Magazine. The exhibition is juried by Hollis
Chatelain and organized by Keisha Roberts and Candace
Thomas. |

Hollis
Chatelain
Hollis Chatelain’s distinctive uses
of colors and imagery, and her dye-painted scenes
of multicultural life, have brought her international
recognition. Hollis’s work can be found in
public and private collections around the world.
Her quilt Sahel
was chosen as one of the 20th Century’s Best
American Quilts. Born in Pennsylvania, Hollis lived
most of her adult life in Switzerland and in four
West African countries. At the end of 1996, she
moved back to the United States.
In addition to creating her art quilts, Hollis frequently
lectures and leads workshops on drawing, dye painting,
quilting, color, and West African textiles. Her
studio and home are in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
Please note: We regret that due to unforeseen
circumstances Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi was unable to
jury ARTQUILTSimages.
