Image of quilt titled "Surprise," by Margot Lovinger
 
 

Artist's Statement: My technique, which employs layers upon layers of sheer fabrics to create the completed image, echoes the idea that each one of us is not simply whole as we present ourselves to the world, but composed of multiple layers of our personalities, feelings, histories, and life experiences.

Materials and Techniques: Fabrics, thread, embroidery, trim, beads, sequins. Multi-layered, hand stitched. No paints, inks or dyes are used.

Dimensions: 35" W x 21" H
