With vibrant, varied fabrics and small stitches, an exhibition of contemporary artist quilts comes to Byrdcliffe in partnership with Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA).

Thirty SAQA fiber artists created work exploring contrasts found in everyday expressions. The selected entries examine seemingly contradictory or incongruous figures of speech used for dramatic, humorous, or ironic effect. The show was curated by fiber artist Ann Johnston, whose experimentation with dye and fabric has led to numerous exhibitions worldwide, including over twenty solo exhibits and multiple publications. 

The exhibition features artists including: Emily Bellinger, Carol K. Boyer, Cynthia Busic-Snyder, Anne-Claude Cotty, Gabriele DiTota, Eileen Donovan, Tamar Drucker, Sue Erdreich, Jean Gerow, Denise Giardullo, Judith Gignesi, Suzanne Housley, Christine Janove, Ann Johnston, Denise Elizabeth Kooperman, Liz Kuny, Helen Nash May, Jean McCreary, Cathy Miranker, David W. Neagley, Giovanna Nicolai, LM B. Noudehou, Pat Pauly, Marie B. Peek, Ellaree Pray, Ann C.Scott, Barbara W. Sferra, Glendora Simonson, Linda Stern, and Jo Thomas
