Theatre (78" x 98) was created by Izabella Baykova of Saint Petersburg, Russia and was on display at AQS Phoenix 2014 as part of the SAQA Masters II exhibition.
"Izabella approaches each quilt as a director approaches a theatrical performance. She thinks about scenario, color, light, and scenery. The construction of every quilt is like a game with the unknown."
