The first work to come from the ‘Error bred in the bone’
project at the Biological Anthropological Research Centre at Bradford
University went on public display at Textilmuseum Max Berk, Heidelberg, Germany
as part of the Quilt Art exhibition ‘Dialogues’. The piece above is based on an x-ray of a pelvis with Paget’s
disease, a debilitating and degenerative condition and an extract of Wallace
Stevens’ poem ‘A postcard from the volcano’.
The show looked fabulous and is accompanied by a full colour
catalogue with essays about each member by critic and curator Dr Susan Marks. You
can order a copy of the catalogue here http://quiltart.eu/quiltartpublicat.html
Not going to be in Heidelberg before the 2nd of
August……don’t worry the show comes to the Quilt Museum in York, UK 11th
September – 31st August.
There are other dates for this shows tour and its smaller sister show ‘Small
talk’ here http://quiltart.eu/quiltartvenues.html
