Dorothy Russell. Quilt Artist.
and Quilt Workshops.
The tactile and visual qualities of fabrics and yarns combined with the textural surfaces developed through piecing, layering, manipulating, painting and embellishing... are intoxicating.
My work can veer from traditional to contemporary in an apparently irrational manner, but always at its heart is a fascination with the materials themselves. Silk particularly attracts me with its lustrous quality and glowing acceptance of paints and dyes. I cannot imagine working in any other medium - there is so much yet to achieve.
I am a blend of wife, mother, quilter, interior designer, lecturer, dancer, cottage proprietor, sailor, builder........ standard woman.
