I love parentheses, in any form I can find them. Brackets too. If it is in the parenthetical family I can’t get enough. I went through a period about ten years ago during which every typographic piece I did was overflowing with as many parentheses as I could fit. I made ornate decorations with them, I blew them up huge and created backgrounds, heck even dotted lines were replaced with microscopic brackets. All this was the starting point for Parenthetical.
For this quilt I wanted to showcase two of the prints from Pear Tree (Partridge in a… and Covey), but I didn’t want the quilt to be just about those prints. I wanted a cushion between those main prints from the rest of the quilt, a way to isolate them from the larger whole, and before long my mind drifted back to those early typographic explorations. Eureka!
