Harmonies
& Hurricanes : Color and Line in Japanese Quilts by Kumiko Sudo
Uniting the riotous colors of kimono silks with age-old Japanese motifs,
acclaimed quilt artist Kumiko Sudo adds her own unique way with design
to produce exceptional, eye-catching quilts. Inspired by such traditional
themes as the sea, Kabuki and Noh theatre, cherry blossoms, and the imperial
court, Sudo's explosive quilts are at once dynamic and serene, imbued with
a paradoxical balance of tranquility and chaos, calmness and vibrancy--harmony
and hurricanes. The artist meditates on the imaginative origins of each
quilt, and along with color photos of her creations, she treats us to pattern
diagrams, templates, and brief instructions for seven of her extraordinary
quilts. --Amy Handy - Amazon.com Paperback from McGraw-Hill/Contemporary Books
