Eye of the Quilter – Photography Exhibit
Green
Two photographs that I took at a Coast Guard yard in Homer, Alaska have been accepted to the Eye of The Quilter exhibit to premier at International Quilt Festival – Houston.
Coordinator of the exhibit is Wilma Hart, Vice President of Corporate Projects for Quilts, Inc. Ms. Hart is herself an avid photographer and stated, “Photographs have the power to invoke a lot of feelings in their viewers— everything from unbridled joy and intense anger to sheer wonder and heartwarming poignancy.” Of course, photos have long served as inspiration for quilters and other artists. (Case in point: my latest Boundary Waters photos.)
I don’t want to spoil the surprise of the photos that will be shown, but above is another photo from that same location. I am always interested in color, in numbers, in texture. The yard was an amazing and inspiring conglomeration of buoys, chain, metal and concrete.
International Quilt Festival – Houston is October 15 – 18, 2009 at the George R. Brown Convention Center. More information here.
Roxane,
Yes, what a great place! I have WAY to many photos from Alaska, but hope to return again some day. V.
Congratulations Virginia, I have the same love for rusty things and was in the Coast Guard yard of Homer, AK in Aug. and took lots of pictures of the rusty old phantom ships anchored there. I am looking forward to see those through your eyes too.
