Color Machine is a continued exploration of the manipulation and perception of color. By paying homage to modernist paintings, I attempt to question whether a quilt can transcend its function and become a field of color in which the viewer can feel the color relatedness. I have always been drawn to modernist works in both architecture and design. Having a degree and professional career working as a designer, I tend to have an analytical process of creating that is often rooted in the function of the work. Simultaneously, I am fascinated by the historical context and personal meaningfulness of the traditional art of quiltmaking. My desire to reconcile these aspects of my personality drives the work that I make. I hope this quilted work can offer a point of contemplation for the artist, designer and quilter alike.
