What is revealed at the confluence of tradition and creative practice?
Anne Wu’s work honors the conventions and practical objectives of traditional quilt-making, yet effects contemporary relevance by challenging those same strictures through alternate interpretations, materials, and techniques to explore and expand the foundational concept of using scrape and labor to keep family warm.
Her art quilts are accessible, seemingly simple, yet dizzyingly complex, whose ultimate significance is the creation of meaning.
