Quilt National ‘23 exhibiting artist, Alison Schwabe, presents a slide lecture and Q&A, on the process of personal artistic development. Alison details how personal influences, combined with evolving techniques, can be developed into impactful themes for one’s own artwork.

Landscape and geographic change have been the starting point of Alison’s creative practice for over five decades. In this lecture, participants will learn how to identify, observe and record their own sources of inspiration to translate into artworks. Alison will share specific fiber arts techniques, focusing on the importance of adaptation and exploration of materials, to best serve the chosen theme. The Q&A portion of this event will allow participants to get specific insights into the challenges and successes of long-lasting conceptual designs.

“Nothing stays the same forever…over time, marks and surface textures appear, resulting from interaction with the world and its influences. This concept I call ‘Timetracks’, and it led to a whole series of mixed media works.” -- Alison Schwabe
