Artist's Statement-ese: An exploration of how science interprets wake and sleep, the quilt top’s design is based on a chart in a chemical engineering computation that interprets the Circadian (wake/sleep) cycles in humans. The quilt patterns are EEG rhythms of the human brain during various stages of wake and rest, from “alert” (at top) to deepest REM sleep (bottom.) A quilt, something one wakes and sleeps under, is an effective medium to convey this data.
Exhibited at "Becoming Art at the Seams: Contemporary and Art Quilts" at the Museum of Ventura County, Ventura, CA, from 3/13/10 to 6/20/10.
Exhibited at the American Quilt Society‘s annual Quilt Show and Contest, Knoxville, TN, July 2010.
Exhibited at the Fourth Annual Quilt Show at Olivas Adobe, Ventura, CA, March 23-25, 2012.
Exhibited at the “Quilts Go Modern! A Fresh Take on Tradition” exhibit at the California Oil Museum, Santa Paula, CA, November 4-February 17, 2013.
