Art Introspection

We are back at Quiltfest with a group of quilts I found fascinating. It was quilters expressing through fabric and their art how they see themselves. Art gives us a view of how the artist sees the world. I have often expressed to Jim Hawk (the amazing artist who does my tattoos) that while we live in the same world he sees it in a different manner than I do. He is able to take the world and move it from his mind's eye to skin and somehow make the transition better than the reality. These quilters somehow have managed to look in the mirror and share with us what they see in fabric. It is a rare look into the mind of the artist.
