Wave 15 (red)

Ann Johnston (Juror)

ARTIST STATEMENT

I have spent a lot of time staring at ocean waves and wondering how to make that sensation into a quilt design, imagining the complex forces that create a wave, imagining what it feels like the color of—among other things—heat and anger. It won’t be long before the many of the changes occurring in our ocean will be irreversible.

MATERIALS

Whole cloth cotton, monoprinted and hand painted with thickened dye
