The 'muscle man' image is an original drawing and
computer printed on various fabrics - those fabrics then sliced
and resewn so that the image is seemingly continuous over the varied
hues. The detail photograph below shows a bit more clearly the
result of the technique - as well as the terrific hand-printed
muscle man images in the border by those wonderful fiber people
at Lunn Fabrics!

African
Banner
2002
27" x 60"
I have always been attracted
to the banner shaped quilt...there is just something pleasing about
the proportions of a banner to me...not to mention, I love having
something to hang on a door!
The fabrics in this quilt are African batik (the turquoise salamanders),
hand printed African blends (the purple and metallic gold fabric of the
inner border and the metallic gold centers of the primary blocks), and
American printed cottons.
This banner is heavily machine quilted.

Size Matters!
2004
17 3/4" x 17 3/4"
I created this quilt especially for the Art Space Open Studios Exhibit. 500 artists were each given one 18" square of wall space in which to display a piece of work. Since this is a bit smaller than I usually work, it was fun (and a bit of a challenge) to make a piece so small. I used my magic marker drawing of a muscle man, the wonderful hand-screened muscle men by Lunn Fabrics in the borders - and Dana Lacy Chapman quilted it heavily with many colors and metallic threads - and embellished it with crystals. There's a lot going on for such a small quilt!

...And All the Gods Wept
2005
50" x 62"
My idea of what the Eighth Deadly Sin is: Intolerance. In this piece, god and goddesses and the deities of many religions cry as they look at the intolerance of some Americans towards their fellow citizens.

This piece was
quilted by Dana Lacy Chapman,
and - as always - the quilting enriches the piece immensely.

"It's Easy
to Slip Off the Path of the Straight and Narrow When You're
Wearing
Spiked Heels and a Push-Up Bra"
I
and II
These pieces both use images
from the covers of lurid pulp magazines from the 1940's and 1950's
pertaining to female criminals. Such popular magazines as "Crimes by
Women," "Gangster's Molls," "Female Outlaws" and "Reform School Girls!"
were computer
generated onto fabric. There are images of extravagantly
high spiked heels
used as the sashing corners on Piece II.
The first
piece is 15"x75" and the price is $350; the the second piece is 50"x50"
and
the price
is
$600.
