Moon River

ARTIST STATEMENT

Working in a single brilliant hue is not much different than working in black and white.  I could have done a portrait or a floral where this shade of blue would not be a realistic color.  However, my chosen subject, a nighttime landscape, actually seems true to color.  This is the color we imagine a moonlit river to be.  The night is monochromatic, the sky is dark blue, the river is blue, and all the greens are hidden.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES

Materials: Prints, hand-dyed fabrics, Madeira Polyneon quilting thread. 

Techniques: Fusible-backed fabric ironed into place, stitched with free motion quilting.
