Essence of Inhumanity

The sin quilt has a name – see above. I know you are getting bored with this, but I had to get better photos so I went outside in the daylight where I would not get a reflection from the flash. I think these better represent how this looks. That is it. I promise not to impose my sin upon you any more!!

    I’m not only really impressed but also quite inspired by your quilt How do you get the words onto the quilt / fabric? Can you actually transfer them onto organza? How? I’d like to do a “history quilt” based on another design and using words seems like a very unique idea.

    Would you mind sharing your technique?

    Wow Gerrie… I don’t want to over-use the word ‘powerful’, but that’s exactly what came to my mind before reading the other comments. This is very bold and modern. If you do get arrested, I’ll send you a quilt with a nail file hidden in the binding ;o)

    Gerrie, I had my husband look at all these images because I kept talking about it so much. He says it is very powerful looking and quite matter of fact in it’s meaning. Like I said to you before, he agrees that you will surely get arrested! Great job.

    I’m glad you reshot the photos because now I have a much better understanding of the piece. These photos show much more depth in the work, and the different layers intrigue me. It sounds from your previous post that you were getting frustrated working on it, but I’m glad you finished and hope that you will continue to explore these techniques of layering. It could be interesting for many different types of subject matter.

    Gerrie,
    This is extremely powerful! It is really well done, tremendous layers both of texture and meaning. I really want to see it in it’s entirety so that I can get the full impact and read it all together instead of little bits on the computer.Your work has made such great strides in the past year! Going to Bishop’s Ranch on your own or with friends? I envy you.
