Artist's Statement:
My optician gave us a Tangram as wedding present – to while away the hours in the commuter train to work (as if newly married needed distraction !? ).
Many resulting figures lent themselves to be used in a quilt someday.... now!
At QuiltExpoEurope 1992 in The Hague, Caryl Bryer Fallert’s work pushed open a door to unexpected creative possibilities. In 1995 and 2003 I had the pleasure and honour to take two of her encouraging classes. Caryl's elegant dancers inspired me to this spiky interpretation.
