Moments by Christine Predd
I was excited to begin my journey making art quilts in 2001, after being a traditional quilt maker for over 15 years. The freedom of expression with fabric and thread has become a passion of mine in my retirement. I prefer abstract to representational work, working from an idea, a word or phrase, or with nature as my inspiration. I often use photos I have taken as the source for my work. My work is directed by colors, textures, shapes and sounds of the natural world. My best work is done intuitively without extensive planning, and I use paints, dyes, threads, fabrics, and needles to present the viewer my personal interpretation of life as I see it. I consider any day incomplete in which I have not designed, sketched, sewn, dyed fabric, or in some way worked on a quilt. My creativity in this way has resulted in exhibitions in various juried shows since 2005. Mostly, I enjoy my daily studio life to a level I could only have imagined many years ago.

Nice to see you and your work here Chris. I think your pieces have wonderful depth to them.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, just wanted to say I really like Moments and how the "geese" (triangles) undulate across it...nice!
ReplyDeleteChristine, I think "Moments" is beautiful. The bright colors glow against the dark background, and the triangles add movement.
