About this project
Love quilts? Love stories? My project Separate Worlds combines the best of both in a 6 part narrative quilt series headed to Lithuania this fall as part of the Kaunas Textile Biennial '11. I want to join my quilts, share more stories, network with artists selected to exhibit and collaborate with local artists about their lives and communities so I can create more quilts. You can help me get there and explore a new and different part of the world and its people. The end result will be a memorable cultural exchange that will lead to a new series of quilts about the trip.
In addition to networking with local artists I am seeking funding to attend the European Textile Network conference which is held in conjunction with the biennial. There I will attend lectures and classes to explore new techniques and materials. Travel and cultural collaboration should take approximately 7 days. The complete project should take an additional six to eight months after the trip.
Expenses for the trip include shipping 6 quilts, round trip airfare, hotels, educational/cultural touring to museums and art centers, art workshops. internal travel, food, cultural exchange art gifts to give to local artists. Any excess funds received will be used for art supplies/materials unique to the area, photography and anything else that helps me create the new quilts.
Thanks for your help,
Marion
