Native American Inspired
View some of Ann Baldwin May’s Native American inspired art quilts and fiber pieces. Much love and respect for the diversity of native peoples of North America. Mexico is home to many indigenous people. It is often hard to separate the Mexican part of the piece from the native part. I choose to celebrate both parts at the same time.
Fun with Fiber
As you can see, I like to create with redirected materials and found objects. The rough fibers attract my attention. The 3D aspect also draws my interest. I hope that you are attracted in the same way.
The fibers and mats are new redirected materials.Similarly, I purchased the white bone cats at a Stanford PowWow.
Color! Texture! Movement!
Most importantly, art quilts by Ann Baldwin May are all about color, texture and movement. In addition,her inspiration comes from the natural world. Furthermore, influences from Mexican and Native American cultures happen.
Materials Inspire
Above all,her motivation stems from how the materials play with one another. In addition,materials of choice are redirected fabrics.Furthermodre,these come from the San Francisco Design Center through FABMO. Moreover,her portfolio includes abstracts, seascapes, landscapes and Mexican inspired fabric collages. Ultimately,artist created fiber details, tucks or found objects add texture. Also,flowing quilting lines and curved line piecing create movement. All in all,techniques include curved line piecing, free motion quilting, and fabric layering.
