Impromptu Fibers

I give a big thank you to the quick response of Diane Cadrain...whose motto seems to be that "nature abhors a vacuum".  When there appeared to be no artwork scheduled for the gorgeous atrium in the CT Department of Transportation building, she jumped into action amassing m-a-n-y art quilts from 16 artists across the state.  Yesterday several of us, bearing the contributions, met to select a cohesive grouping and hang it.  Amazing!

Nineteen pieces were chosen.  The collection is very beautiful and, surprisingly maybe, looks like all belong together...there is a lovely flow from one end of the atrium to the other.

The exhibit will hang at DOT's headquarters building at 2800 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, until Friday, Augsut 21.  For information or to view the exhibit contact DOT employee Delois Barnes at  delois.barnes@ct.gov or ring her at (860) 594-3307.
