My art quilts are assemblies of linear patterns and basic shapes, frequently arranged in grid layouts of repeated elements that represent order and calm.  My surface decoration techniques are little removed from the basic needlework skills I learned as a child.  Using a variety of fabrics and threads, I hand stitch and quilt extensively to produce individually designed and crafted works able to project drama or add a note of tranquillity to any interior.

Pandemic Pattern

Retail Price: A$5000.00
Dimensions: 72 x 94cm  (H x W)
Statement: By mid 2020, rows and rows of newly dug graves became a common image on our TV screens as the new Corona virus began to ravage human populations in many countries.
Exhibitions:
Quilt National 2021
Photographer:
Eduardo Baldizan

So Many Coffins

Retail Price: $7500
Dimensions: 178 x 74cm  (H x W)
Statement: As the Covid-19 pandemic spread, bodies piled up on streets, inside freezer trucks, overfilling funeral homes. Most shocking were the speedy, simple burials in fields of freshly dug graves, often performed without a single mourner present. (Pandemic Pattern #5)
Exhibitions:
A small group covid-themed exhibition at World Of Threads Festival, October Ontario Canada.
Photographer:
Eduardo Baldizan

Variants Of Interest

Retail Price: A$7500
Dimensions: 142 x 89cm  (H x W)
Statement: Minute particles of the highly infectious Covid-19 virus floating around us, dividing, multiplying and occasionally changing to become more or less dangerous; but fortunately, we hear this phrase less often these days. (Pandemic Pattern #4)
Exhibitions:
A small group covid-themed exhibition at World Of Threads Festival, October Ontario Canada.
Photographer:
Eduardo Baldizan

Abstract Landscape Textures

Retail Price: A$15,000.00
Dimensions: 95 x 190cm  (H x W)
Statement:  I used these most basic of all man-made symbols to convey the sense of an exposed soil profile in a rail or road cutting or on a cliff face.
Exhibitions:
Quilt National 2023
Photographer:
Eduardo Baldizan
