During the eight weeks of 'simply irRESISTible' we'll focus on individual artists here on our blog. Every week, three artists will be featured. Today, we're pleased to introduce to you: Suzan Engler from Panorama Village, TX.
Registration MarksAbout the Piece: Registration marks must overlap to ensure alignment. Yet when aligned, all individuality is lost. Align if you must - but leave a trail, leave evidence of your existence.
Struggle for Perfection InterruptedAbout the piece:
"The circle, in theory, is perfect.
The circle, in reality, struggles to retain the fleeting, momentary perfection.
Alas, perfection is lost but only then a unique voice is born."
Artist Statement/Biography: To create is to be an active participant in life.
My textile creations are a collaboration of traditional quilting and contemporary fiber arts. The juxtaposition of the human hand and technology intrigue me as I create art quilts combining custom printed and painted fabrics, hand stitching and intricate machine quilting.
Currently I am exploring the depiction of change and transition with the repetition of the most simple of marks: the line and circle.
