Quilt made by Wendy L. Starn
Artist’s Statement:
“Although Katrina missed my part of the state and Rita did not leave much physical damage, both hurricanes had lasting effects on the entire state, both financially and emotionally. Scientists have linked rising global temperatures to increasingly violent storms. Who do we blame? The phrases in red list a few likely culprits, but the words in green are the underlying causes: the seven deadly sins and a few extra. Will civilization change its ways before the entire planet is devastated?”
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind—
Emily Dickinson c. 1868

Art quilts can be a means of expression from joy to angst. However, art quilts also can be enjoyed for what they are and have no inherent deeper meaning. All quilters enjoy the manipulation of color and design. Pure color delights the senses. At this writing, 20 art quilters have responded with fantastic examples of their use of words on quilts. I shall continue to share any future information received with you. This call for quilts has far exceeded my imagination!
Thanks to Wendy! Additional examples of her work appear in a file on my main website: http://www.quiltersmuse.com Enjoy!
