Artist’s Statement: This quilt was created to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Langley Quilt Guild. The backing is canvas, mounted on a wooden frame. The quilt is structured like a two-sided vertical blind. Each Klimt painting is revealed by gently pulling the dowel sideways, while firmly holding the bottom of the frame.
