THE PROJECT ROOM at the PHOENIX GALLERY
The Phoenix Gallery is proud to present a collaborative project by members of SALUTE to Women in the Arts, who in the great tradition of women who sew, have created a beautiful art quilt. In reaction to the events that have taken place in the world since 9/11, members of SALUTE to Women in the Arts created quilt squares in a variety of mediums which were pieced together by SALUTE member and fiber artist, Madeline Giotto. Artists sewed, quilted, painted, and printed squares in shades of green and cream and placed on a plum colored cloth background. SALUTE artists were encouraged to interpret the theme, “Where have all the flowers gone?” Some addressed the topic of violence directly while others thought of the piece as a healing object. Participating artists: Barbara Brewton, Ann Winston Brown, Beatrice Colao, Bonnie Deutsch, Lauren Ennist, Leslie Fetner, Dail Fried, Sandra Frech, Judith Fringuello, Madeline Giotto, Sandra Golbert, Carol Goldstein, Harriet Sobie Goldstein, Mikki Machlin, Clarence Mather, Ruth Bauer Neustadter, Ellen Reinkraut, Lois Parker, Lisa Peters Russ, Joan Strier, Alice Stoler, Jo M. Swift, Paula Schiller, Meriam Untoria, Marge Weinberg, Rosemary Zabal. The art quilt will cover a wall of the project room, a space which is reserved for works deemed to be of environmental, social, cultural and ethnic interest.
