Strong Line, Strong Color

Sarah's three vibrant works are connected by a lively interplay of color and line. Bright hues echo from one piece to the next, like the shifting colors of a sundown sky, creating a visual thread that unites the trio. Hand-stitched lines wander across wonky squares, adding movement and rhythm. Each work stands on its own, yet the colors call and respond to one another, bringing the three together in a spirited conversation.

 

Puppy Love

Each of Kat's fiber art works is set against dark background, allowing the warm colors of the next layer to really pop.  As the background recedes, the beauty of the stitched line speaks. 

In the first, hand stitching takes center stage. Zoom in and take notice. In the second, hand stitching secures the bright colored strips to its base. And who doesn't love a puppy, even though naughtily untangling the thread. It makes me chuckle!

 

Rhythm in the Garden

In each of these works, Hilde explores the quiet beauty of stylized blossoms in a palette of restrained neutrals. The lines that weave through the floral forms have been handprinted. They shift in direction and rhythm, bringing movement, texture, and a subtle sense of spontaneity to each piece.
