Textiles Open Us Up

Zak Foster gave a lecture in October 2023 to Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond Virginia, USA.  He quoted seven of the many artists he had interviewed for his Seamside Podcast.  He quoted Judy Martin  at around 22 minutes in the one  hour lecture/  Judy spoke about the poetic resonance she finds in making quilts and looking at the sky.  The entire talk is very interesting and addresses identity and vulnerability and how textiles help us to learn about ourselves and also connect with others.  You can watch Zak's entire talk on youtube at this link.
