Quilt Artist of the Week: B.J. Adams
Gossip, 25″ x 39″, 2005
B. J. Adams found her way from fine arts to fiber arts. She draws images on paper then re-creates them in thread and fabric.
Variations on W (Metamorphosis), 23″ x 48″, 2004
The work above is from the Alphabet Variations series. She is making a wall hanging for each letter (not in order), sometimes using many objects that start with that letter, sometimes only one or two.
Four By Nine, 28″ x 28″, 2004
From the artist’s statement: My artwork began with representation, developed into abstraction, and now goes back and forth between the two, sometimes combining elements of both, as well as surrealism, in the same work. I want this realistic or surrealistic work to give the viewer a surprise, an out of context image, size, or viewpoint.
