Quilts
-
Imagine the walls of a vast
room covered with twenty dazzling, colorful six-by-seven-foot
quilts &emdash; each telling an empowering story about African
American women. Notice how the art combines painting, quilted
fabric, and storytelling. Inch your way closer, and read the words
on a quilt, which tell a tale in carefully composed segments.
These story quilts are the trademark work of Faith Ring gold
&emdash; a renowned artist who is speaking at the opening of her
exhibition at the Madison Art Center June 10.
