Art Quilt by Ann Johnston
Polly Plumb Productions is pleased to present the Art Quilt show, “Somebody Told Me….Communicating with Thread” in the Yachats Commons, 10 am – 4 pm, Saturday and Sunday March 28 and 29. Suggested donation $5.00.
Our words shape who we are. This dynamic Art Quilt exhibition features SAQA Oregon artists who explore the power of verbal communication through expressive textile works. Each quilt speaks in its own voice, sharing personal stories, common experiences, and universal truths. Together, these works invite viewers to pause and reflect on the lasting power of words and the ways communication shapes our lives.
According to the Art Quilt Association club definition “An art quilt is an original exploration of a concept or idea rather than the handing down of a ‘pattern’. It experiments with textile manipulation, color, texture and/or a diversity of mixed media. An Art Quilt often pushes quilt world boundaries. An Art Quilt should consist predominately of fiber or a fiber-like material with one or multiple layers which are held together with stitches or piercing of the layers.”
Juror Irene Roderick explained “For this exhibition, artists were invited to explore the impact of verbal interaction on their lives—the importance of communication with each other, with our world, with our pasts, and with our futures. I loved reading the statements and the stories with each quilt, giving me an insight into the artist’s concept of how we address the subject of interaction between each other and nature. As I spent time with these quilts, I began to see themes emerge: Many of the quilts are based on advice. Some reflect on the importance of wisdom passed between the generations: from grandparents, parents, and even grandchildren. Others recall advice prompting a move to rebel and lead in a new direction. Within this theme these quilts illustrate how advice can be a voice from the past that still resonates today. I believe this selected body of work will encourage viewers to reflect on the many ways we communicate—and on the power of that communication. As you view this exhibit, I hope you think about the impactful things you have been told, and the things you have told others. Take a moment to recall the advice, the slogans, the rhetoric, the secrets—all the words and expressions that shape our memories and influence our lives.”
