Description: Violence and beauty meet in this dramatic and worshipful art quilt, featuring silver leather appliqués. Intricately hand-painted “patches” were created by masking and painting each individual pattern. The blocks were then sewn together using traditional patchwork techniques. The patterns within the quilt represent the central event in the Christian faith, the crucifixion of Jesus. Stamped images incorporate crosses, nails, thorns and bolts of lightning (all original stamps carved by the artist), and stripes, dots and spatters representing drops of blood and the marks of the scourge. Hand-guided machine quilting. Has a two-section hanging sleeve on the back; can be hung from a single nail. Will be shipped rolled, with a dowel stick for hanging, Certificate of Authenticity, and care instructions included.
