Hmmm - interesting dicussion brewing here! I like it and greatly admire the work in it, but whether it's a 'quilt' or not, well, is a wholecloth a quilt? I think we'd all agree that it is and this is a kind or wholecloth, surely? I like that there is so much devleopment in the contemporary and 'art quilt' style. I think that pushing the boundaries of our craft in this way keeps it alive and brings in a whole new audience. But I do resent the attitude that I've SOMETIMES witnessed, where the old, traditional style is seen as somehow less worthy and artistic. I think it's all art no matter the style - each to their own. It's like with paintings - I don't 'get' modern art, I like a picture to at least resemble what it's supposed to be! But I still see the skill involved in producing modern stuff and still recognise it as art! That's my opinion, for what it's worth! LOL
