This is a new series of work started in 2010 featuring wholecloth hand dyed fabrics. Two of the series of quilts included in this area are the Sound Waves series and the upcoming Contaminated Water series. These textile artworks feature banded cloth hand dyed by textile artist, Jean M. Judd. Each piece is hand stitched with a unique design.
This piece is the first one using my banded, hand dyed fabric. The piece can be displayed in any orientation as can be seen in the detail image links provided here. Back The The process of making the banded fabric is very freeing as there isn’t much control of how the dye flows once it hits the fabric. Each consecutive piece will be different and may not fit in with the first pieces.
I have hand stitched this piece in not quite as dense of a pattern as I normally do. The stitching recedes more in this piece since I used light blue thread for the hand stitching. Detail This is to reflect the “wave” aspect of the textile piece and to let the dye design be the focal point. When viewed horizontally, the piece looks like sound waves from an oscilloscope. It also replicates a printout from a seismograph in this orientation.
Orientation 1 shows the piece as I think it displays best. Each client has their own vision and that is why I purposely am developing work that can be hung in more than one orientation. This makes the artwork more versatile and can easily fit into different sized areas without a major revision.
Orientation 2 is the main image to the left. Orientation 3 shows the piece in a reverse direction from Orientation 1.

This is the second art quilt using my banded, hand dyed fabric. The piece can be displayed in any orientation as can be seen in the detail image links provided here. Back The The process of making the banded fabric is very freeing. Same colors were used in this piece as in Sound Waves #1 above.Such a different feel to the piece and yellow stands out much more in this piece. Each consecutive piece will be different and may not fit in with the first pieces.
I have hand stitched this piece in not quite as dense of a pattern as I normally do. This piece has Cabarnet Red used for the hand stitching. Detail This is to reflect the “wave” aspect of the textile piece and to let the dye design be the focal point. When viewed horizontally, the piece looks like sound waves from an oscilloscope. It reminded me of the term white noise with more of the back visible in this piece. Orientation 1 shows the piece as I think it displays best.
