DH and I spent a pleasant hour and a half this afternoon at the
Anderson Arts Center in Kenosha. The featured exhibits are "Quilts in Color" and "Aprons: Myth, Memory, and Fantasy," and "The Three (Dis)Graces."

Ann Fahl created a series of quilts featuring her cat Oreo. The quilts vary in size (about 42 x 42 up to 60 x 60). This is "In the Black Eyed Susans."

The aprons were interpretations of the theme. This is by my friend Jo Mortland. It depicts her grandmother's northwoods cabin -- her grandmother is on the porch.
Barbara Laybourn's "The Three (Dis)Graces" depict Poverty (made out of dryer lint, sand, and nature forms); Neglect (made out of sweaters, yarn, and knitting needles); and Indiference (made out of pattern paper, vinyl, mosaic mirror tiles, and ribbons).
