"Contemporary Quilt" shows a striking contrast between texture and color. At its center, there is a large circular form made up of vibrant, multicolored dichoric glass with varied patterns, showcasing a patchwork arrangement. These individual pieces shimmer with a myriad of colors like blue, pink, purple, yellow, and green, among others, giving the impression of a luminous, kaleidoscopic tapestry. Surrounding this colorful ring is a vast expanse of textured black acrylic that is tactile. The darkness of the background amplifies the luminosity and varied colors of the circular form, making the hoop the central focal point of the piece. The combination of the intricate, colorful glass with the monochromatic, textured background creates a dynamic visual experience, evoking a sense of depth and the interplay between light and shadow.
