Red Fence in Winter Artwork

About the Artwork Mixed media and methods landscape quilt, easy to hang from the rod sleeves on the top back Materials: Cotton fabrics, cotton batting, thread, wool embroidery yarn I was inspired to make this piece by a winter trip to Quebec I made with my husband a few years ago. Some people see Winter as a bleak and hopeless time, but I love the stillness after a snowfall, the sting of the wind, the crunch of ice-crusted snow underfoot. In this piece, the frozen creek, hand embroidered weeds, and birch trees give the promise of new life to come. The red fence, a surreal addition to the scene, adds a warmth to the chilly, icy landscape. It, along with the barn and silos are the only evidence of activity in an otherwise pristine and snowy landscape. The free-motion quilting adds depth and meaning to the art. In the sky, the wind can be imagined to be blowing briskly, while the snow has settled along the fence and around the trees in distinct patterns. Even the creek has a sense of water moving beneath the ice, waiting to flow freely come the Spring. The rough edge applique of the birch trees and stone, and the hand-embroidered weeds, add dimension to the piece, inviting the viewer to run their fingers over the work to experience the different textures.
