Thanks for the link. The quilt is beautiful.

Beautiful quilt! Congrats to Anne!
|
Wow, that is really something!
|
Thanks for adding the link! Sad thing s, with the govt. shut down if it's still at the Gerald Ford museum no one will be able to see it!
|
Boy that is awesome!
|
Wow, beautiful work. I was stunned at the amount of the prize - I think both Houston and Paducah's grand prize is $20,000. I like the fact that the contest was open to all forms of art, and a quilt won!
While perusing the Artprize site, I came across an entry by Fraser Smith - he's the artist who carves quilts out of wood. His work is amazing. It looks like quilted cloth, but is hard, solid wood. http://www.artprize.org/fraser-smith...porcelain-vine |
Is he the same artist that has pieces at the Paducah museum? I have seen those and they are amazing!
This is the 4th or 5th year for ArtPrize. And the prize money is a big draw for artists. They have all the different pieces placed at venues thruout the city. There's a voted winner and a juried winner. I've never been, but since we're close, it's always covered by the local media. Was so happy to hear a quilter won!! |
Thanks for sharing the link. Hard to believe that is a quilt. And the carved quilt is amazing and hard to believe it is wood. Beautiful work.
|
Absolutely breath taking!
|
The entries in this competition are spectacular. I am in awe of them all, but that quilt is out of this world.
|
Amazingly awwesome!
