To gain more complexity in my quilts, in 2003 I switched from piecing and painting quilt tops to having quilt tops directly digitally printed from my computer designs.
Materials
Digitally printed polyester top, batting cotton back, clear monofilament thread.
Techniques
I used 2D software to extend artist Frank Stella's circle design to a tile pattern. To add depth to the colored sections, I used 3D software to extrude the sections into solid glass tiles. The final image was created by rendering a scene with the glass tiles and added lights.
