Joan Schulze; Acclaimed mixed media, collage and Fibre artist

Whilst browsing through textile art collages on the internet I came across a piece of work by Joan Schulze that I felt stood out. My attention was captured by her ability to give her art that scratchy distressed appearance that I really admire.
So through a little more research on Joan Schulze I found that she has been exploring the art of the quilt medium for well over 35 years. She has experimented and mastered various ways of manipulating and altering fabric and she includes the uses of dye, paint, Xerox transfer, photography, photocopy, glue transfer and digital imagery. Interestingly though she regards her main theme in her art as poetry and touches on the surreal and strange.
Joan Schulze connects quilting with it's layering and collage effect to the likes of illuminated manuscript and urban walls.

'I am enamoured with surfaces and how they disintegrate over time. I layer and scratch away to reveal what is beneath the surface.'  Joan Schulze
