Artist's Statement
After photographing melting icebergs in Antarctica, I was inspired to create a quilt that highlights the alarming effect of global warming. I used some unique techniques. I ran a “Stained Glass” filter on a photograph using Photoshop and the result served as a starting point for the design. The quilt was hand pieced with a new method that I call California (not English) Paper Piecing. Only one piece of solid white ice remains, the lighter pieces represent the melting ice with the linear lines, and the darker pieces with curved quilting represent the surrounding ocean.
