Jean Pierre Avonts-Saint-Lager

Born on November 19th. After thirty years dedicated to writing plays,to creating and making clothes, costumes and properties for theater(Leeds, London, Lyon, New York, Miami, Paris), I have been creating quilts since 2006. Naomi Ichikawa wrote an article about my work in the Japanese magazine "Patchwork Quilt Tsushin" in August 2007. Since I have been in more than fourtyTextile exhibitions in Europe and USA. I am interested in human nature and I take my inspiration from universal and timeless human mysteries such as death, solitude, love and vanishing time.
