Artist's Statement:
"Eye Candy" is the title of my quilt inspired by Luke Haynes' creation "Whale Eye". Colorful recycled fabrics and off center placement of the image prompted me to make my own version. Online research has revealed that in addition to being a prolific quilt maker, Mr. Haynes has studied architecture at Cooper Union. (Pretty impressive). The title "Eye Candy" refers to the many magnificent quilts that Luke Haynes creates, his fabulous collection of eye wear (another online discovery) and, of course, to the artist himself!
