Do you ever love someone's work so much it almost hurts you to look at it? That's how I feel about the work of
Anna Von Mertens. When I saw her quilts in person, the thing that struck me most, as a quilter, was that, although her quilts are clearly works of art, she was showing them in gallery settings on bed-like forms. Oh, I can't even tell you how much I love the irony of that!
Okay, so here are a few of my absolute favorites (it was really hard to pick just a few), but go over to her
site and see the rest. It's like staring into the sun.
I had never heard of Anna von Mertens - thanks for the info - her work is very inspiring, and I too love that she displays some of her pieces horizontally - it actually makes them more interesting. Thanks!
