What Makes A House A Home?...it is not the Roof or the Door...
I am currently working on a series of mixed media collages, with the theme of a home. Each collage is one of a kind, in which I incorporate quilted houses--with embellishment. The door of each house opens with a symbol of "LOVE" stitched within. Presentation is on a stretched, painted canvas--ready for hanging--in which the house with all embellishment is stitched onto the canvas.
About Me
- Colleen
- Monteagle, TN, United States
- I have been making art quilts for more than 25 years, and continue to explore the boundaries for creating new art through textiles. The infinite possibilities of playing with fabrics and threads to create image and texture continuously excites me. My quilt art takes a mixed media, 3-D approach through the quilting and surface embellishment from heavy, free-motion machine quilting, hand-embroidery and beading, to attaching found objects. My quilted designs hang from found or self-made wooden, iron, ceramic or other materials--further adding to the design and for final framing of the art for hanging on the wall. As "treasure" hunting has always been a passion of mine, this has led to the creation of yard art--or art for the garden...Thus, as I continue to play with fiber, I am now creating fun and functional, mixed media pieces for the garden!
