Onion

Jean Renli Jurgenson

45 x 15 inches

ARTIST STATEMENT

Who knew that the lowly onion could be so beautiful – so graceful? (And so appropriate for this format!). This image, as well as any representational image in this exhibit, gives voice to the notion that value (light/dark) is as potent as hue (color). In this case, the sky does not need to be blue to be effective. 

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES

Materials: White cotton fabric, commercial cotton fabric, Setacolor paint, acrylic paint, buttons. 

Technique: Hand appliqued, machine quilted.
