"Chromatic Inversion" Artwork

Barbara Danzi is a Brooklyn-born, Los Angeles–based textile artist who creates colorful, abstract, wall-hung quilts that explore the relationship between human-built structures and the natural environment. She has won numerous awards including Best in Show and Outstanding Abstract Design.
She uses an improvisational technique of freehand cutting solid-colored fabric, then arranging the pieces on her design wall, moving them around until the composition is dynamic and compelling. She sews the pieces together with a sewing machine. Barbara then layers the quilt with batting and backing fabric and stitches through the three layers to create texture. The edges ar.e bound or faced to create a finished edge and a sleeve is sewn on the back which holds a wooden slat for hanging.
