Day 5 - Art Challenge. Today it's mostly structures. These pieces have all been on exhibit.
'The '
Row House' wall hanging is an older piece and was purchased by the provincial government as part of the art procurement.
'
Gower Street', '
Back Yard' and '
Quidi Vidi' were commissioned pieces that are in Nova Scotia.
The
Fishermen's Museum, English Harbour West, is based on a photo I took a couple years ago. Each piece of 'clapboard' was stitched on one piece at a time.
'View From The Rooms' is a large textile piece based on a photo taken from the 4th floor of The Rooms.
I challenged friend and avid quilter,
Linda Coolen Smith to participate. Linda
is a member of a modern quilt guild in Halifax. Her work is beautiful. However, Linda emailed me back saying she participated in the Art Challenge last week. I thought I had gone through her posts but . . . In any event, please visit Linda's blog to see her wonderful quilts. I met Linda (had lunch with her and another quilter) last summer when I was in Nova Scotia.
