Seth Trump Assignment #2

I went to the Art Space instead of the Art Walk because I couldn't make it. There was an exhibit there by Sara Mika who made quilts that was called "In Stitches: Mended Mistakes." I would describe her quilts as almost bold. They reminded me of something I would see in the '70's maybe? She hung them hanging on the walls. I think all of the quilts worked well together. They were the same type of material and they all compositionally seemed to be similar. However I feel the fact that they are quilts just took away from it.

My favorite piece in the exhibit was untitled. It was a post card. It reminded me of a quilt my grandmother made for me. It had a white background with a flowerish type of design in the center fanning out that were a blue color. It also had some dot designs around it. To be honest I don't think I would even like this piece at all if it wasn't for my grandmother's quilt because I wasn't really drawn to any other pieces.

I'm not sure the meaning behind this piece. I think it could be more of a meditative process though more than anything else. You can tell it took time to stitch the quilts and decide the design and where to possibly even put buttons but it definitely seems to be meditative process as well. I wish I could have appreciated these pieces more than I feel I did but this was my first experience to this type of art on quilts or other material of the sort.
