Geometrus 2 (Noonday Walk)
(43” x 28”  -  110 cm x 71cm)
      May, 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 rectangle. The triptych 'Geometrus' was the result. This is second quilt in the series (also called Noonday Walk), and it  explores the use of highly artificial, strongly coloured and embellished geometric trees in a partially realistic setting with the river bank and the water. It is fascinating to me how the mind's eye still sees the trees and the reflection, not just the lines and rectangles.
