Layers of Meaning

Michael James interview

Michael James is a quilt artist who can engender rage in a quilting discussion group, just with the drop of a quote. He seems to be a man who does not mince his words, making him all the more fascinating and powerful as an artist; especially as an artist pushing the boundaries of the textile design world. The PBS site, Century of Quilts features an interview with Michael James where he describes his passion for quilting and creating. A collection of his older pieces are available at the Revere Collections site. Unfortunately all of the detail image links are broken. A larger quilt image, displaying his colorplay linear stripes is available at the Renwick. His current works involve the use of digitally manipulated photographs printed onto
fabric using a wide bodied printer.
