Quilting art from around the world displayed locally
Pushing the Surface opens May 29 at JH Museum
Staff Report
COSHOCTON - Pushing the Surface contemporary quilt exhibit will be on display from May 29 to Sept. 6 at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, 300 N. Whitewoman St.
The exhibition is a dance of color, beauty, ingenuity and story that showcases pieces made by 22 artists with national and international recognition. Although most of the works share the basic structural characteristics of a quilt joining at least two layers of fiber with stitching, they break from tradition in their design methods.
Surfaces may be pieced and patched as one finds in a traditional quilt, but they may also be painted, dyed, laser printed, appliquéd or fused. The techniques are as varied as the subject matter, which is as varied as the effects. In the end, the artists create a truly new statement that speaks to mind and spirit like all great art is meant to do.
