quilt
30. "Kusudama"
Michael Michalski
Brooklyn, New York
Commercial cotton prints and batiks, cotton and poly batting, cotton cord, foundation paper piecing, faux trapunto, couching.
Kusudama are decorative paper balls made for special occasions. They show the mastery of the origami artist in using simple paper squares. Likewise the quilt maker uses fabric as a way to express an inner vision, of showing others how we see things. Quilts function as both artistic viewpoint and a way of showing others we care. Kusudama represents how a craftsman and his medium work together in that expression, an alliance of artist and material.
