    Visual Description of Artwork

    This rectangular quilt is composed of varied rectangular panels, some stretching the full height of the quilt, some much smaller. The larger panels are darker grey-green and seem to contain close up photographic transfers of patterns - perhaps from the surface of the gifted ceramic Chinese bowl at the heart of the show. To the right of center of the scroll are three arrays of photographic transferred images of the bowl - each array containing eight bowls. These three arrays are separated by two bands of colored patchwork: above, in reds and oranges; below in yellow and olive green. Down the center of the quilt are several photographed vignettes of chairs and tables, perhaps taken from design magazine pages.
