What is Quilt? My impression about this activity was of women knitting little pieces of cloth. I may be right about women doing it, but Quilt is much more than my first idea of it.
Kyoto Station held an exhibition of Japan's most talented Quilt artists and it was evident to me that art can be expresed in many ways: Quilt is one of them. With all kinds of fabrics and other textile materials, these women artists create patterns and compositions about their own life experiences. The designs can range from small pieces, to large ones, meters long.
The patterns are very complex, created all by different shapes and colors. Some of the designs do not fit a square shape, but rather get out of it, like flying fish.
I enjoyed in first place Goke Keiko and Emiko Toda Loeb. Subarashii.
