Geometrus 1 (Morning Walk)
(43” x 28”  -  110 cm x 71cm)
      April, 2005

 

I have been working with more stylized landscape elements lately, because I wanted to see if the landscape was still a landscape, with its moods and light, even with using one basic shape; in this case, the triangle. The triptych 'Geometrus' was the result. This is first quilt in the series (also called Morning Walk), and combines the monochromatic simplicity of the geometric trees with the very organic, complex texture and colours of the riverbank. It is fascinating to me how the mind's eye still sees the trees and the reflection, not just lines and triangles.
