SUMMARY:Land in Textiles: Map Quilts by Leah Evans
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Madison textile artist Leah Evans will speak about her map-inspired work on Sunday\, November 13\, 2016 at 2 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library\, located on the third floor east wing of the UWM Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. Ms. Evans’ quilted wall hangings consist of layers using a variety of techniques\, including appliqué\, piecing\, dyeing\, and embroidery. \nShe does not use a computer or imaging software in her work\, and tries to use hand tools and processes rather than electric. \nHer current work combines aerial photography\, maps\, and satellite imagery\, but most of her pieces are not consciously based on specific places. Instead\, she sees them as explorations of map language and imagined landscapes. \nJoin us to hear Ms. Evans discuss the cartographic influences on her creative process\, and see examples of her quilts. \nReception at 1:30. Talk at 2 p.m. \nSponsored by the Map Society of Wisconsin. \n
