It is interesting to incorporate text into quilts. There are several works
like that at Taiwan International Quilt Exhibition 2016. Artists include
letters, words and even totems in their works with many different techniques.
Those quilts with text are appealing to viewers. Text also helps to communicate
and tell stories, just like the artists are having dialogues with viewers at
the venue. Amazing! The power of art is boundless. The 481 quilts from 21
countries exhibited in Taiwan show viewers a variety of innovative techniques
and materials, and they are playing the role of art quilt promoters. I am very
pleased to share my observations with you. I will send the TIQE 2016 catalogue
to V9 members soon! You can read more about the following quilts in the book!
Happy creating!
