The metaphor of “the edge” opens many possibilities for quilt artists in the Oregon region. The pieces juried into On the Edge: An Exhibition by SAQA Oregon Artists approach the concept in many ways, each according to personal experience, artistic process, and choice of subject. Quilts themselves are on the edge —the edge of being considered “art.” Ann will show her evolution as a quiltmaker, and at the same time, illustrate how her quilts express different ways of being on an edge. Guests will also be invited to view the exhibit and to talk with artists whose work is on display.
