Elin Halvorsen "Art Quilt"
Trygve Lie Gallery
This event has ended.
Elin Halvorsen's painted abstract quilt works also convey a silent language through the carefully processed, painted and selected pieces of fabric in her quilts. Being a self taught artist, her process started out in traditional mediums that slowly developed into her own unique techniques. While living on a Spanish island, colored cotton fabric was hard to come by and she started painting white cotton to create the colors she wished to use. She paints with brushes, sponges and her hands. The result inspired her to use her previous quilting knowledge in new ways, now to create art. Her creative process consists of layers of sewing, panting and viewing.
