The exhibition reflects Maria Shell’s journey from traditional to improvisational quiltmaker. Her work is an exploration of pattern, especially how elements in complex patterns can be viewed as either the focus or the background. Since 2011, she has focused on grid patterns, manipulating the line, color, and shape of her individual elements to produce dynamic results that are both compelling individual compositions and intriguing to look at as a group. She also strives to convey the dynamic, fickle, explosive, solemn, mysterious, and beautiful nature of color by varying the proportion of her lines and shapes.
This is a unique opportunity to view Maria’s unusual and surprising combinations of pattern, repetition, and color in consummate work grounded in the tradition and craft of American quilt making. Don’t miss it!
