Erika Carter: Personal Imagery in Art Quilts

Erika Carter Personal Imagery in Art Quilts - A Quilt Book Featuring The Quilting Journey And Thoughts Of Erika Carter

Erika Carter Personal Imagery in Art Quilts was published by That Patchwork Place in 1996. According to the inside cover "Erika Carter is an internationally recognized quilt artist whose body of work reflects every twist and turn of her artistic journey. From her traditionally styled first quilt made years ago to the award-winning contemporary masterpieces she created today. Erika's quilts continue to communicate the story behind all art:
the constantly evolving perceptions and self-discoveries of the artist. In this book, Erika candidly reveals the thoughts and feelings about art, life, and creative growth that she calls her "internal landscape." Readers and artists in every medium, from beginners to seasoned professionals, will be inspired by the full-page, full-color photographs of 80 spectacular quilts. While this book is meant to serve as documentation of my development as an artist, I also hope it provides inspiration to others interested in pursuing their own creative imagery," Erika writes. "It takes courage to go beyond one's comfort level, whether tackling the first original design or the hundredth."
