Leaves and Blocks III (2005)

Japanese papers, silk (new dupioni and re-cycled kimono and thrift store dresses), 23K pure gold leaf, Japanese bronze leaf (metal) which has been chemically patinated colors and varigated German bronze leaf.

This large quilt which has been framed under glass hangs in the upper lobby of the State of Georgia Public Health Laboratory. It was commissioned to enhance the public area of a very contemporary building. I worked with the Architect to include the metals and the colors which he had used on the project. Copper was an important color to bring out a warmer feeling in the building.
