Kentucky Quilts: Roots & Wings
Morehead College, KY
The original exhibit "Kentucky Quilts: Roots and Wings" was hosted by the Kentucky Folk Art Center at Morehead College (Morehead, KY). It traveled for two more years, 1999-2000.
The original idea behind this exhibit suggests that visual and thematic relationship exists between contemporary works and their historical predecessors. The goal of this exhibit was to bring the extraordinary vision and aesthetic achievements of Kentucky quiltmaking to the attention of the public and to celebrate the medium of quilting as a form of artistic expression.
