Petting the Fabric: Medium and the Creative Process

2000
Gabbert, Lisa
United States
From Uncoverings 2000, Volume 21 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Lisa Gabbert, a doctoral candidate in Folklore and American Studies at Indiana University, is interested in the dynamic of tradition and cre­ativity in everyday life, particularly as manifested in folk art/material culture and narrative. Her dissertation research focuses on the ways in which people use objects and narratives to create different senses of community in the public sphere.

​When AQSG added Uncoverings articles to the Quilt Index, they omitted all the illustrations, for lack of permissions. Although the articles found in the QI (1980-2010, 2012-2016) lack illustrations, they link to quilts, essays, special collections, and documentation projects across the Quilt Index, introducing them to a wider audience. The permission issues have since been resolved and in 2024, AQSG completed adding all the Uncoverings volumes from 1980-2023 to the Digital Commons@University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They are completely searchable and include all the illustrations. You can find, Uncoverings 2000, Volume 21, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/40/.
