\"Airport<\/a>
Airport Art: description<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On my way back from a recent trip, I saw some quilt art in the airport. Yes this was my first airline trip since 2019. I actually don’t remember my last airline trip.<\/p>\n

I am always pleased when textiles get their day in the sun. While the Phoenix airport is not the Met, it is still a venue that has a lot of possibilities for people to view the artwork.<\/p>\n

In this case, I saw a quilt and a chair with quilted and embellished elements in this exhibit.<\/p>\n

\"Airport<\/a>

The quilt has photos printed on it. This is not a favorite technique of mine, but I applaud the work the artist, Margit Kagerer<\/a>, did on this quilt.<\/p>\n

N.B.: sorry about the reflection. The quilt was under glass and, although I tried a lot of different angles, I could get rid of the reflection. I was playing with some photo manipulation, but haven’t succeeded in getting rid of the reflection.<\/p>\n

Getting some detail shots helped and also made it easier to see what was going on in the quilt.<\/p>\n

This quilt has a lot of detailed machine quilting.<\/p>\n

You can also see that the piecing looks like a kaleidoscope in the flower photo, left.<\/p>\n

I am pretty sure this is piece is not longarm quilted.<\/p>\n

Again, this photo has a reflection, but you can see more detailed quilting in the bottom of the photo.<\/p>\n

I am interested in what Margit’s original photographs looked like. In order to answer that question, I would have put the original photographs on the back of the quilt. I had no way to see if she did that and I don’t see more information about the quilt on the web anywhere.<\/p>\n

This work really reminds me of the fearlessness of Friend Julie<\/a>‘s work.<\/p>\n

I was more interested in the chair that also has some quilted elements. I have been interested in reupholstering chairs with quilts or quilted panels since I made the Tuffets<\/a> and also since I saw Tula’s Elizabeth chair* as well as her Monkey Wrench chairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The chair was well protected, so I had some trouble getting detail shots.<\/p>\n

\"Get<\/a>

This chair is definitely art and not seating. The seat had beading in the flower, which I don’t think would be very comfortable.<\/p>\n

I really like the idea of upholstering furniture in patchwork. I think it would give the furniture a unique appearance.<\/p>\n

The artist used the entire chair for her artwork, including the back. The sun reminds me of the sun in Beach Town<\/a>. I really like the thistle-like flowers. The background texture kept me looking at the piece for awhile.<\/p>\n

I have mixed feelings about airport art, but I did enjoy seeing these pieces.<\/p>\n

*N.B. 12 July 2022: I wasn’t able to find a photo of the Elizabeth chair, but you can see it some of her Tuesday videos. I will add the link if I am able to find one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
