Escape…..

/ Karen Lane

My latest art quilt has been made in response to the Cranwell Contemporary Group challenge titled Escape.  When the theme was announced my first thought was of “escaping” to the Scottish Highlands……this area has to be my absolute favourite away from it all destination in the UK.

Art Quilt with the theme “Escape”

Escape

I worked from memory, rather than looking back at photographs, as I wanted this piece to suggest a mood and a feeling of being in this area and not a specific, identifiable place.   The colours are very neutral and muted, built up using Inktense paint, layered fabrics, Mulberry bark and silk cocoon strippings to create a textural surface.  The finished quilt is 28” wide x 40” high.

  3. Wide open peaceful calming – you delicately captured your Scottish escape perfectly. I love the use of the Inktense.
    Your post is a coincidence because I have just driven up into Scotland this very evening for a break! So I can really ‘feel’ your piece.
