Hsin-Chen Lin The Forest I use 113 pieces of fabric and free motion quilting to depict the trees and grass in the forest to show the vitality of nature in another way.
Photosynthesis, Breathe Easy
Guest Curator - Victoria Rondeau
Trees are necessary for the sustainment of life on earth. Through the process of photosynthesis they store carbon dioxide, filter out dust, carbon monoxide, sulpher dioxide and nitrogen. This improves our air quality, conserves water, preserves soil and supports wildlife. But... they also produce Oxygen. One acre of adult trees can produce enough oxygen to meet the needs of 18 people. Trees are beautiful to look at. We enjoy them in our landscapes, in parks and forests.
The Art Quilts I have chosen all have a common theme of trees. Some have beautiful leaves, green or turning to fall colors. Some are barren or in their last stages of evolution. They all contribute to our life on earth.
Take a deep breath. Thank a tree.
