Etude #3 Art Quilt by Marilyn Henrion: Wall hanging,silk, and cotton, hand pieced, hand quilted. Anodized aluminum hanging bars included (invisible when hung). Marilyn Henrion celebrates textiles as a medium for urbane, sophisticated art. Her hand-stitched constructions transform geometric elements into abstract metaphorical images with strong graphic impact. With frequent references to literature, she uses color, line, and form much as a poet employs words to convey an emotion or idea. As in poetry, the images are meant to resonate, being both themselves and something they may suggest to the viewer.

Quilt art, sometimes known as art quilting, is an art form that uses traditional quilting techniques to create art objects. Practitioners of quilt art create it based on their experiences, imagery, and ideas rather than traditional patterns.[1] Quilt art generally has more in common with the fine arts than it does with traditional quilting. This art is meant to be hung on a wall, though exceptions exist.
