“It’s Time” – my Visions accepted quilt
"It's Time" - © Gloria Hansen 2010 - 57" x 40"
Several people have asked me what the piece looks like that was accepted into Visions: No Boundaries. This is it. The piece works in my obsession with time and has other layers of personal meaning. The title has additional meaning because I have tried to get into Visions for years and years and have been rejected every time. It still amazes me that I finally made something that caught the eye of this show’s selection of jurors. The piece is a digital collage of a variety of images I’ve taken over a couple years that include various ruins, arches, clocks, and strange little things like a pile of books and a swan. It has an overlay of digital geometric pattern. The piece was printed on silk using pigment inkjet ink and further colored with Caran d’Ache Neocolor II painting crayons and textile paint.

Hi Gloria,
DH and I were driving home from DS’s house in San Diego on Dec. 29, and stopped by the Visions exhibit in Oceanside. I enjoyed seeing your wonderful quilt. As with most quilts, it’s so much more in person than can be appreciated in a pnotograph. I stood for several minutes enjoying the rhythm of it. I truly love the Quilt Visions exhibit and try to get by every two years. I hope to see your work there again.
