2007balancingact.jpg

Correspondence #9 has won a Juror’s Award in the Balancing Act exhibition.

Balancing Act, a Studio Art Quilt Associate exhibit, will be at Lawrence Street Gallery, Ferndale, MI September 5 - 28. The opening reception will be September 7 from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

SAQA exhibition organizers Susan Sanborn North and Lynn Krawczyk, explain, “The theme of Balancing Act refers to the choices every artist makes to develop an interesting composition. The definition of an art quilt is that of a contemporary artwork that explores and expresses aesthetic concerns common to the whole range of visual arts: painting, printmaking, photography, graphic design, assemblage, and sculpture, which retains, through materials or techniques, its relationship to traditional quilting.”

This exhibit will feature over 35 juried works by quilt artists from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. A catalog will be available.

    Congratulations on your juror’s award! And have a great time in the Boundary Waters; I can hardly wait to see the art that comes from the experience. I am imagining brilliant fall colors and - dare I say it?? - some potential snow……. A welcome thought in the latest blistering heat wave.

    Karen - Thank you! I know Lynn will be doing a great job of sharing the show with those who can’t attend.

    Boundary Waters. What a divine madness. I think we can assume cold (I’m with you - yea!) and we would like a very light and non-dangerous fall of snowflakes for about ten minutes ONE time. The marble-sized hail we had for for ten minutes was plenty!
    Take care, V.

    Violette and Von - Thank you! Von, believe it or not, I am dyeing fabric for backs this week. I am so not a dyeing person. I’ll probably post a photo next week of my pile of dyed fabrics. It will not be overly exciting.

    Take care and thank you for taking the time to write.
    Virginia
