Listen as Ricky talks about his quilt, Faded Glory, the quilt he created for the annual AAQI (Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative - www.AlzQuilts.org) Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction.
Artist Statement: I veered from my typical bright colors and used these paler hues as a symbolic reference to how a once-vibrant person afflicted with Alzheimer's fades to become a shadow, a veiled and foggy representation as it were, of their former self. The flower is dropping petals as each memory fails. Only a hint of what was once thriving, strong, beautiful, and vibrant remains. The spirits of others who have shared the same fate stand on either side, patiently waiting - understanding.
The auction is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind work of art and benefit the AAQI. This year's participants include some of the giants of quilting, many of whom have joined us here at TQS. The auction will be held the first 10 days of November. Click here for more details and to see the quilts.
