Self-Portrait on Quilt

Red Shoes by Deb RichardsonContinuing the thoughts of self-investigation, here are some self-portraits by quilt/fiber artists:

Linda MacDonald - This Is Not a Self Portrait
Lesley Riley - Self Portrait At 47
Therese May - Therese Quilt
Deb Richardson - Rediscovering Joy: A Self-Portrait in Red

Some quilters felt most comfortable with photos manipulations:
Hidden Influences #1 by Caryl Bryer
Lauren Camp - a series of self portraits based on photographs and computer manipulations

Other quilters didn't want to examine themselves realistically, but chose to have symbolic representations of themselves:
Blueprints by Marcia Karlin ".. describes the process of making cyanotype prints as a metaphor for memory and the evolution of meaning and identity"
In Imagio Dei by Ellen Ann Eddy
