Quilts represent warmth and comfort, as well as bedcovers for the ill.
Walking into the Emison Art Gallery these days may afford a few surprises, from a collection of deformed plastic baby dolls in metal cages to a bed featuring a quilt made entirely of matchsticks. Jean Robertson and Craig McDaniel, co-guest curators, organized the exhibit. The opening reception took place Sept. 30 with many of the artists present. There is a dialogue between the pieces. The viewer sees the artist's spinal column, brain, heart and pelvis on damaged and marred paper, which symbolizes physical and psychological wounds.
