Reflection:
1. A time of meditation looking at my life. 2.The light reflecting images in the items around me.
This is from a photo I took when I was working the AQS show in Lancaster, PA one year. Every morning I enjoyed a walk down to a cafe for a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee before the show opened.
It was a time of reflection as I watched people hurry off to work and school. How lucky I was to have this opportunity to be at this table every morning.
I have always admired artwork with reflections in glassware and I really wanted to create this quilt with that effect. I set this at morning sunrise with a piece of fabric I hand painted so that this could be for anyone anywhere.
I used Cherrywood fabrics for all of the items on the table. They have wonderful gradations that made this possible.

I did add a little paint, but mostly the fabric and thread were my media to make the color happen.
A charming composition! I loved how the every-day objects cast shadows (reflected) on the table, A great example of art being found in the simplest of scenes. A bowl of cereal, a coffee mug, a vase of flowers, so simple, yet as rendered by you, they become art!
ReplyDeleteA wry meditative piece. And so peaceful. A reminder to take time to enjoy the small bits of time weave.
ReplyDeleteJudy, this is wonderful!! You did a fantastic job bringing your photograph to life in fabric. Your color pallet is perfect! I feel like I'm sitting at the table when I look at it!
ReplyDeleteA Beautiful scene. It is so calming. A nice interpretation of reflection.
