Quilter Judith Content, QUILTS episode

www.craftinamerica.org. Judith Content uses inspiration from nature and a Japanese resist dye technique, arashi shibori, to create glorious abstract wall quilts in her Palo Alto, CA studio. Content dyes then composes fabric into an abstract kimono form and uses her sewing machine as a drawing tool to achieve an evanescent visual haiku that communicates to viewers both emotionally and intellectually. These Art Quilts, made to be viewed on walls rather than placed on beds, expand both the definition of the quilt and its place in the art world.
Learn about contemporary quilters from diverse traditions as we celebrate the important role quilts have played in our country's story. Featuring Susan Hudson, Victoria Findlay Wolfe, Michael A. Cummings, Judith Content, the International Quilt Museum, and special guest Ken Burns. PBS premiere December 27, 2019 (check local listings).

What a treat to run across this "visit" with Judith Content. Have always loved her work. Luscious!

This is one of my favorite parts of this episode ..LOVE her work !! right up until the very end .. where she kind of goes out on a limb with the sound layered with the hill side thing... There is a point where some things are just not quilts. No matter how compelling or wonderful or lovely .. .. Example.. a slice of ham between two pieces of bread .. not a quilt .. it has layers . yes.. it can even be quite pretty ( done right) but still.. not a quilt. Oreos ... two awesome layers of delicious cookie.. with a layer of goodness in between.. pure comfort and so yummie... but not a quilt .. That said .. I did SO love the Quilts episode .. Looked forward to it for a LONG time .. and have watched it now.. hmm.. 4 times .. 5 .. LOL .. I have lost track .. And I will watch again.. rest assured .. : ]
