    Visual Description of Artwork

    This quilt is a long rectangle, suggesting a scroll. It is made of many different sized, smaller rectangles overlapping and stitched as if collaged. The quilt’s predominant colors are gold and purple, with areas of black, white and grey. Several of the rectangles are transferred photographic images of a patterned Chinese ceramic bowl gifted to the artist. Other rectangles are patterned or printed, with the inky texture of a monoprint. Along the far left edge is a golden panel patterned with an ink drawing of bamboo branches. On the right, also suggesting calligraphy, is a rectangle in black on lilac with six repeated circular marks arranged in an array.
