Musical Text



As I noted in my previous post -- this was a difficult theme for me. But, nudged by my development of an online course, I took a quite literal approach using the letters M, U, S, I, C and tried to develop a jazzy kind of composition that has auditory noise and rhythm to give it that musical quality.

This art quilt  was pieced with ink-jet transfer designed fabrics, hand dyes and some scraps of soy wax batik fabrics. I love the painterly quality of the letters blurred by the transfer method.
