17. "Recycle/Repurpose"
Patricia Ann Hobbs
Macomb, Illinois
Fast to fuse, found objects, machine applique, oil pastels, machine quilted.
My passion for over forty years has been teaching art, but that also includes collecting odd found objects – lots of them (the bane of my husband’s existence). Making something out of “nothing” is the challenge. One of my favorite artists was Robert Rauschenberg, the father of recycling. The patterns on this quilt are created with the repetition of similar little pieces or colored objects. People? Number one is my husband of 44 years.
