Too much gossip and disparity plus if I read one more "me too" I would hurl!!<BR/>But isn't this what Michael James said a few years ago and got slammed for?<BR/>I get more excited looking at glass and pottery than "Art Quilts." It seems Art Quilts are more about tricks and embellishment than content. <BR/>Personally I have had better luck getting juried into art shows than quilt shows. I called myself a Mixed Media Textile Artist, I find quilter to narrow a description to anyone that doesn't know what an Art Quilt is, i.e. most people!!!<BR/>Mary Ann<BR/>See my work at Best of 2006, Ohio Designer Craftsman ShowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753386.post-1152497129160300552006-07-09T19:05:00.000-07:002006-07-09T19:05:00.000-07:00Liz..how well you have stated your point.

I've perused some at Borders and B & N, and they struck me as mainly a lot of advertisements.<BR/> BTW, your articles in QA were the best part of the last two issues. Your pieces, especially the last three with the circles as part of the design, sang to me in a way more "busy" pieces (like the painting on Rayna's blog!) don't.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679598993090941074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753386.post-1152455260705512782006-07-09T07:27:00.000-07:002006-07-09T07:27:00.000-07:00Your "is it art comments" are right on. Art is a ...Your "is it art comments" are right on. Art is a process. It is the learning and practice of skill and technique. It comes from within your soul and the end piece is a part of who you are. I can look at a Matisse, a Rembrandt or a Liz Berg and think..."Wow, how incredible is that?" And even tho I don't comprehend his art, Picasso, will still get me to look at the lines and his use of color and still think..."wow". What matter is it that instead of paint and canvas you use dye and fabric? There are too many people who cannot think outside of the box and understand that quilts can be more then functional. And it is the people who think out of the box who gave us some of the beauty and conveniences of todays living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753386.post-1152429850531826302006-07-09T00:24:00.000-07:002006-07-09T00:24:00.000-07:00That list generates a lot of anger and negativity,...That list generates a lot of anger and negativity, it's quite incredible to me that some of these people are creatives.

I think you're absolutely right about the art discussion, but the truth is probably that the ones that don't get it now, probably never will. One or two maybe, but not many.PaMdorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673157255405327125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10753386.post-1152406935267773082006-07-08T18:02:00.000-07:002006-07-08T18:02:00.000-07:00Liz....how about "we to insular and need to get ou...Liz....how about "we to insular and need to get out of the "bed"....even members of our CFA group still think we're making bed quilts, not art!!! If you can't convince fellow "artists" that it's are, how can you convince the others. See you Monday!! LouiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
