Description
Women’s Rights National Historical Park Presents “All Things Wild and Wonderful” an exhibit of quilts and hangings by Sylvia R. Apple January 4th, 2017 through January 29th. The quilts in the exhibit will focus on nature and wildlife. The quilts are created using hand painting, three-dimensional piecing, and applique. Found objects and unusual fabrics add drama and life to the pieces.
Sylvia Apple is a resident of Seneca Lake, who is well known for her innovative approach to quilt design. She is a graduate of Penn State University’s Honors Program in Integrative Art and has exhibited her work in numerous national exhibits and competitions, including a solo exhibit at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah KY. She has worked on commissions for the White House, the William Penn Museum and numerous private and professional collections around the country.
The natural world with its mystical qualities is a major source of Ms. Apple’s imagery. Elements such as water, air, earth and fire play an important symbolic role in this imagery. Her study abroad of ancient pictographs and stone carvings has greatly affected her visual work. At the same time, modern artists such as Matisse and Kandinsky and Pollock inspire her. She has taught many classes and workshops around the country, but still sees herself as a student of life, as well as of art.
