Twilight Descends


"Twilight Descends," 42" x 42" 


"Twilight Descends" is my latest art quilt. This original design is my interpretation of “Aerial Perspective” which is how atmospheric conditions influence our perception of objects in the distance. As objects get further away, they appear lighter in tone, which is why the “mountains” in the background are lighter in color that the “mountains” in the foreground.

This photo by Fred Parker is an excellent example of Aerial Perspective and it is used here with his permission (thanks Fred!).


This quilt is made using 63 batik squares that were part of a batik block swap I participated in.


The black fabric is also a batik and is a nice, deep black because it has blue tones in it.
