Affinities & Influence
What a treat to visit the Greg Kucera Gallery in downtown Seattle to view a selection of quilts from Gee's Bend together with prints by Gee's Bend artists Mary Lee Bendolph and Louisana Bendolph and a collection of other works influenced by the tradition of patchwork and quilting.
The workmanship on the quilts was rather crude but the design sensibilities more than compensated:
This "Bricklayer" quilt by Mary Lee Bendolph is made from corduroy. The wale of the fabric creates a whole new dimension:
This quilt top is made entirely from labels:
Today's BBQ party is "all about me" (sorry Tommy) so I best log off and go meet my guests.

I saw "Gee's Bend" when it was here and enjoyed it a lot. Those are utiliarian quilts. That they have been recognized as art bodes well for the rest of us!
