My recent work has focused on making textured tile wall art. I have created clay quilts using doilies and lace to create patterned tiles which are then stitched together in styles reminiscent of quilt panels. I have also explored the use of layered and interconnected tiles that make reference to other textile patterns such as block printing or shadows created by tropical plants.
Louise Wheeler: Pinwheel Clay Quilt
My recent work has focused on making textured tile wall art, using lace, doilies, embroidered textiles, and stamps to create patterns that highlight the extraordinary work in these handicrafts. I often rescue partially finished lace or stained doilies that would otherwise be thrown away. Ongoing series include Clay Quilts, Alibaug (block print patterns), Plant Shadows, and Printer’s Drawer.
The work shown here is based on the pinwheel pattern of fabric quilts.
