SELF PORTRAIT AT 47© Lesley Riley 2000
I thought the Millenium was a good time to do a self-portrait quilt....how I saw myself at the turn of the century. I have included many personal references and symbols. To retain the immediate and spontaneous feel of the piece, I did not bind the quilt. The edges are finished with a layer of moire sandwiched between the quilt top and backing.
38 X 26" Painted canvas, raw edge machine appliqued cottons, silks, computer generated image transfers, stamping. Machine quilted... sparingly.
