                  Concept  This is one of a series of quilts in which three  dimensional, constructed tucks are pieced into a patterned background.  The background fabric was painted with fiber  reactive dyes in a free form, abstract design.  Each  of the  1/2"  "tucks"  was constructed from two  different fabrics and the right and left  sides have different hand-dyed gradations of color. The use of color gradations,  and the twisting of the tucks from side to side, create the illusion of  movement and light across the surface of the quilt.
