"A Color Runs Through It" Comes to Salem

"Lighter Than Air" (detail), by Georgia French


Fiberexplorations member Deb Sorem is one of five textile artists whose work is featured in the show A Color Runs Through It: Art Quilts at Salem's Bush Barn Art Center.

Each of the five artists designed and created a series of quilts featuring a specific color.  We were lucky enough to see Deb's pieces (showcasing the color green) at one of our meetings earlier this year.  Most of them featured an abstract study of a daffodil's growth cycle, from bulb to full flower.  Fascinating!

The other four fiber artists (Diane K. English, Georgia French, Laura Jaszkowski, and Paulette Landers) chose red, yellow, purple, and blue, respectively.

Deb's study of green, showcased alongside the other artists' color studies, creates an exciting and vibrant visual treat, and you have until August 29th to see it!
