I was out picking up ingredients for a little veggie chili tonight. All of the sudden it is FER -REEEZING here in Atlanta. Anyway, the bookstore is right across the way from the grocery story so I knew I had to run in. If I am really honest, I chose that particular grocery store so I would *have* to stop at the bookstore. I saw Quilting Art and had to snatch it up. Eye candy is always wonderful for an artist. This book is eye candy and so much more. There are interesting interviews with the artists along with fabulous images of their work. There are also several studio shots. Looking at artists studios is as fun for me as looking at people’s book shelves. You can learn so much!
I was introduced to the work of Ai Kijima through Quilting Art. Her work is fabulous and funny. Being a dollmaker, I am also a big fan of Susan Else’s figurative sculpture.
