Popcorn Quilt

The Popcorn Quilt is the most interesting piece in the entire collecting. Each and every little circle piece imitates the shape of a popcorn. The individual pieces also give a 3-d texture to the quilt. The "popcorn"are attached together, but special colored pieces create square within the quilt creating a aquare. The size and shape of each "popcorn" are the same and the colors are similar. Here the texture of the quilt isn’t actual, yet it creates a sense of visual texture. The pattern in the quilt is mostly symmetrical, yet the colors inside each square form are rearranged differently. I feel this makes the composition of the piece more enjoyable. Each piece of the quilt is done exquisitely with pattern, color and texture. This piece illustrates how perception of pattern and rhythm can be created by how the artist chooses to use materials and visual techniques.The use of purple as the base color have a great contrast to the light colors popcorn that create the squares. This quilt was not made for functional usage as it has too many holes and seem very fragile. The large gaps between the popcorn and its texture seem uncomfortable for a quilt. This quilt cannot provide warmth or comfort, but it can be a great art piece to hang on the wall for aesthetic purposes.
