Information - The Quilt as Art
Talk by Sara Impey, an award-winning quilt artist from Essex with work in many public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A former journalist, she stitches texts (which she writes herself) on to her quilts, enabling her to use the textile surface to comment on social or personal issues, sometimes with a dash of humour. Sarah will show examples of her work and discusses how other contemporary textile artists are using the techniques of quilt making to produce wall-hangings or three-dimensional artworks which transcend the traditional notion of the ‘quilt’ as a functional object.
