My tea bowl collection inspires me in many ways. These two quilts form a diptych, exploring the layers of garden and tea ceremony.

Visual Description of Artwork

This quilt is divided into six collaged rectangles, each patterned with multiple textures. Greys, light blues and rust are the quilt’s predominant colors, with pops of red and brighter blue in places. The rectangles on the right hand side of the quilt are patterned in part with vertical lines that suggest scratched or scored marks. Thin bands of red stretch across the rectangles in the upper right and middle left of the quilt. In the middle right, a black-and-white transferred image of the Chinese ceramic bowl that features in many of the quilts in this show - a gift to the artist, Joan Schulze, after touring her work in China in 2016 - sits atop a curved grey shape. In the rectangle patch on the upper left is a smaller red rectangle, patterns of dots and concentric circles, suggesting the rings of a tree, and the word “Luxury”, perhaps clipped from a magazine advertisement.
