Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
Chris Roberts-Antieau
Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens, flannels, cottons, calicos, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.
