Opposites Attract is all about the interplay of elements; the shapes push and pull at each other, elements fill the negative spaces that others leave. They build upon each other in vertical ladders and reach out to each other to fill the silences of the negative spaces between them. Depending on how I look at it, I see this quilt as both frenetic and calm. It is an exploration of asymmetry and balance.
In so many ways this quilt owes giant debts of gratitude to two of my favorite paintings: Henri Matisse’s The Green Line (Mme Matisse) of 1905 and Olga Rozanova’s Untitled (Green Stripe) of 1917. Each of these paintings feels instructive to my approach to quilting, and helped shape the background for developing this quilt.
