Kinen |
||
 |
25" square Both Japanese and American commercial cottons and also fabrics made from various transfer methods such as color xerox and dye paper resist, etc; 1994. Machine pieced, applique, quilted by hand, embroidered and embellished with threads and 3-dimensional objects. The Japanese word kinen means "commemorative object," referring to the small token or souvenir that one takes home from an even or tourist spot, as a rememberance. In this case, I was one of a dozen quilt artists commissioned to make a piece celebrating the tenth anniversary of the "Hearts and Hands" quilt association - thus the imagery of hearts and hands throughout. In a Private Collection. For a detail of the quilt, click here. (Photo by Karen Bell) |
