Join us Friday, May 22, at noon CDT for a free, Zoom panel discussion with Milwaukee artists Linda Marcus, Heidi Parkes, and Nirmal Raja. Learn about these artists' inspirational practices and creative processes during a lunchtime talk moderated by WMQFA curator Emily Schlemowitz.
About the Artists: Linda Marcus is a nationally-recognized textile designer and fiber artist whose work embraces the expressive possibilities of fiber alongside less traditional materials.
Heidi Parkes is a decorated quilter and quilt instructor whose evocative quilts utilize textiles from domestic culture, fashion, family heirlooms, and scavenged prints. These cloths are often beset with hand stitching that functions as a layer of “drawing” on the quilts' surface.
Nirmal Raja is an interdisciplinary artist whose sensitive practice examines notions of memory, identity, place, and belonging through a range of materials and processes.
