What Makes Modern?

5/9/2017

 
At our May meeting, we held a discussion on what makes quilts "feel modern, centering around the following characteristics:
  • wide use of “negative space”
  • minimalism
  • asymmetry
  • different scale
  • “Made to be used”
  • improvisation
  • “cropping”
  • “modern traditionalism”
  • absence of borders
  • use of modern colors/fabrics
  • “alternate [or alternative2] gridwork” or “breaking the grid”
  • Pieced backings
  • mixed textiles
  • use of gray
