SUMMARY:Debbie Kauffman "Polymer Skies"
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement \nThe snapshots I capture during my walks and travels have become the inspiration for a series that explores the use of fiber and stitch to share the natural world that surrounds me. It is a means to give a voice to my thoughts\, express my concern for the environment and illustrate the love I have for this place\, I call home.\nThe prairies\, known for its vast open spaces\, offers stunning views of the skyline. By creating these images with single use plastics\, the notion of how pervasive it has become\, is realized. Plastic is literally everywhere\, quietly invading the beauty that surrounds us. Our water\, our bodies and our beautiful skies.\nThe geometric stitching that fills the skies with movement is included as a way to honor the skilled craftswomen who pieced and sewed together bits of fabric to keep their loved ones warm\, by creating quilts. The designs or patterns are based on traditional patchwork quilt blocks\, chosen to add meaning and to acknowledge those that passed their skills on to me. \nArtist Bio \nNorth Dakota fiber artist and award winning longarm quilter\, Debbie Kauffman\, comes from a world of textiles and sewing machines. She learned to tell her stories through drawing and sculpting with thread. She’s all about using unexpected materials and incorporating intricate detail into her pieces\, while raising awareness for important issues like landfill waste. Her 12 foot quilting machine is the sidekick that helps her bring her ideas to life\, creating pieces that aim to touch not only the eye\, but also the heart. Join her on this journey of combining art and sustainability\, one stitch at a time. \nThis art show is sponsored by the North Dakota Art Gallery Association. \nExhibit Open\nLong X Arts Foundation Gallery-Lower Level\nJuly 11 – August 30\, 2025\nMon-Sat | 10 am – 6 pm\nFree and open to the public
