"Together" Art Quilt Show

I'm part of a 2 person art quilt show (with Sarah Terry) at GoArt (Arts Council) in Batavia, NY.   We hung our show today and it will be up until August 30, 2011.   A "Meet The Artists Reception" is planned for June 30, 2011 from 5-7 PM.   I designed the postcards which advertise our show - shown below!!


My wall:
Self Portrait - Part of me is "black & White; Part of me wants to be more colorful
1:45 AM - torn strips of orange & green fabric make up this flower.   This was created one early morning about 1:45
Which Came First"   The stone on the turquoise shape mimics the colors of the quilt.   Or, does the quilt mimic the stone?
Joint Walls - with Sarah's Mask quilt
Joint Wall - Sarah's "Trails";
my "Edge of the Gorge - Stony Brook"  - created from photo taken in Stony Brook
