Off the design wall – ‘Abstracted’ pieces finished – 2013.05.31

If you’ve been reading along, you’ll recall the red bench quilt is for an exhibit by Fibre Art Network members.

‘Abstracted’ will explore the development of a subject from a realistic image to one that illustrates the essence of that subject in an abstract, or in a non representative way. Pairs of artists will illustrate their subject – one in a representative fibre art piece and one in a abstract / non-representative fibre art piece. 

My fibre artist sister Anne de Verteuil is my partner.  She finished her abstract piece just the other day.  We haven’t actually seen each other’s piece yet – we’ve just been sending photos to each other.  Using the magic of photo-imaging software, I’ve made it look like they are hanging next to each other.  I think they look fabulous together, and I can’t wait to see Anne’s abstract piece ‘in person’.

    Fabulous art pieces–the colors run together beautifully!

  2. Interesting comparison. Contrasting realism with abstract composition. I like it.

  3. I like both of them! Chris Predd.

  4. What a great idea and so well executed.

    How lovely to make art along with your sister! I probably haven’t done that with my sister since we coloured around the dining room table as kids!
