ANNE DIMIT–BUCKLEY
Elephant Butte
Joy
Mom taught me to sew starting at
age 8. From Jr High on I made most of my own clothes. Then somewhere in the Eighties, I went to a sewing group meeting on quilting. I wasn’t interested , but at the end of that meeting, I was suddenly hooked on quilting, and have been doing it ever since. Mom also taught me “Waste Not, Want Not”. Many of my quilts are composed of tiny scraps sewn together into pieces that become parts of my quilts. Following patterns with intricate planned intersections and making multiple blocks the same doesn’t appeal to me. I refer to my methods as “seat of the pants” quilting, where I start with a vague idea or some pieces of fabric and just wing it until I like the result. I also do scenic quilts and silhouettes of animals and people. |

Throughout the years I have made observations and extensive studies about things which repeatedly capture my attention and provide inspiration. ‘Nature!' - Trees, Water, Frost, Rain, Light, Wind and Rock in their infinite variety of forms and manifestations whether great or small, at times visible, often hidden, silent or audible, underground or disguised, but always in transition. Things we see in part or not at all which exert tremendous far reaching effects on our planet.

Mr. Garrett has been working with the application of textile technologies and imagery to various materials for the past forty years. While weaving remains the theoretical foundation of my work, I have explored and used many other construction methods to connect materials.

After spinning my first skein of yarn,
I was hooked. After weaving my first basket, I was hooked. I find it rewarding and even exciting to create something from nothing, especially an item that's functional and can last for generations. ziagallerynm.com

Katharine Kreisher lives between Truth or Consequences and Oneonta, NY, where she is Professor of Art, Department of Art and Art History. Her Resumé is long, varied and filled with installations such as thosepictured here. She includes family heirloom textiles, some are reworked in other installations. Here is her quote from the HEATE'S DREAM installation: "Hekate’s Dream” is part of my on-going series of “Dream” installations, journeys into unconscious narratives, reworkings of memory and myth. This colorfully crocheted and knit installation is built from funnel-like shapes referencing desert plant forms and flowers. To me it is as if the archaic domestic goddess of ancient Greece, Hekate, dreamed of a desert landscape where distorted plants give way to surprising blooms, funnels deliver water and disrupting whirlwinds come and go. Working with yarn and thread and cloth to “find” the imagery, I imagined myself at all ages in half-remembered rooms conversing with my mother and aunts and grandmothers while quilts and sweaters and socks
emerged under our fingertips.
emerged under our fingertips.

Nearly 100% of my work is created using found materials. My hunting skills have been honed to a fine art while pawing through second-hand clothing, fabrics, beads, yarns, rusted metal, and fanciful objects found at local thrift stores, yard sales and on many rambles on desert trails. This kind of reuse and upcycling gives me fits of pleasure and excitement.
