Coming to the San Jose Musem of Quilts & Textiles - May 3 - July 20, 2014 - Now and Then: Early Art Quilts by Ros Cross 1973-76.
From the museum:
Now and Then: Early Art Quilts by Ros Cross 1973-76 is a chronicle of the innovative, sculptural quilts of Southern California artist Ros Cross, and asks “how do we perceive now, what was made back then?” A native of England, Cross became fascinated with the American quilt tradition, and 70s pop and minimal art movements. Her work is a reaction and response to what was being made in California at that time. Although created for only a brief period of time these inventive quilts made with stuffed parts and hanging pieces, merged a pop art aesthetic with a quilt tradition. Her ground breaking approach to the medium points to the beginnings, the early history of the Art Quilt movement, and her work is a testament to the spirit of invention in this medium. This exhibit of five stunning pieces is a rare documentation of an important innovative artist in the art quilt field. It also includes recent work of graphite drawings that express the artist’s current explorations.
