Gridded

Work by Debra M Smith ... an excellent way of displaying textiles (very suitable for square "journal quilts"...) -- suddenly "quilts" are transformed into "art".

Here are some of Debra's larger works, also framed beautifully -
She has been working with textiles for over 20 years and says: "I am not a poet or someone who draws, but I feel that my use of vintage textiles as a medium brings a history, a weight, a poetry to the work before I even begin to cut, sew, and piece the work back together. Allowing the work to intuitively flow thru me I do feel the end result is similar to a drawing or poetry. "

  1. fascinating work....some of the black and 'white' pieces are most like the quilts I'd like to make ....so why aren't making them?
