Allie examines Terrie Mangat’s Fireworks

Enjoy Allie Aller‘s deep review of Terrie Mangat‘s 1993 work, Labor Day Fireworks. She says, in part,

Terrie was one of the first to totally abandon any conventional aesthetic of embellishment on quilts. I doubt she considers her work crazy quilting at all….
…but I do. Her use of all kinds of fabrics, her deliberate but spontaneous piecing, her wild but focused use of embellishment, continually developing her surface: all mean crazy quilting to me. Of course, she paints over the whole thing as part of her process, and that makes her unique.
