Join the Kimball Art Center and Summit Sotheby’s International Realty for curator Judith Trager’s discussion about the Kimball’s current exhibit, “Don’t Fence Me In,” a collection of quilts created by two Colorado quilters’ groups, The Piecemakers and Quilt Explorations. The 52 quilts in this exhibit explore various themes and take a decidedly modern look at the icons of the West. Carol Watkins’ “Times Past: Rocking Chair,” shows a rocking chair against the backdrop of a vacant house, exploring the issue of abandonment. Some colorful quilts of immigrants relate the seamstress’ origins and depict how their art changed with the differences in landscape and culture as they moved west. Others explore newer themes, like Jaime Bolane’s “Horse Zen,” a haunting combination of Japanese calligraphy and split rail fences. Some quilters delight in wordplay. The “Cow Pie” dessert of Gay Lasher and other titles like “Amarillo Armadillo” and “Da Fence Rests” assure that these quilters will never be accused of taking the West too seriously.
