ARTIST OF: Kim Morris
BIO
I'm a social worker who's crafted since I was a little kid, looking for a way to use my crafting skills in more artistic, expressive ways.
INSPIRED BY
Comfortable spaces, funny people, seeing how people make things, museums, my friend Emma who makes incredible quilts.
EXPLORING:
I'm interested in doing some piecework quilting inspired by the artist and spiritualist Emma Kunz. She used a pendulum to create large scale drawings that she interpreted for clients. I'm interested in how she used lines to create curves, which seems well suited to quilting.
INSPIRATION FOR PROJECT:
My friend who inspired me to start quilting, Emma Kunz, and the old friend I went to see her art with
