Inner Landscapes Quilt

I worked in collaboration with Bettina Reeves on the design and delivery of this project, and we worked through Arts Alive in Crickhowell in 2009.  I have worked as Bettina's assistant on the Abergavenny Food Festival decorations for over 10 years. She is AWESOME! and has taught me so much.

Over 40 women contributed a piece - each section was carefully prepared with a swatch of coloured silk for each person, and the instruction was to create something beautiful; something that spoke of  their 'Inner landscape'.

This was interpreted in many ways some literal some less so, the overall effect we were unprepared for... a psychedelic riot of colour and vibrancy. The silk was so rich and beautiful, the more I look at these images the more I want to make another one, all for myself!

The thing is though, if you try to do this for yourself you would never get this result, it;s only through working collaboratively you can achieve something this original. Success is in the careful design planning and colour control.
