‘Tapestry Weave Rag Jerga’ (1994)

Agueda Martinez, who lived in Medanales, NM, wove history, ideas and materials from her farm into acclaimed rugs in the Chimayo style.

One of the many displays in the Renwick Gallery’s new exhibition, “State Fairs: Growing American Craft,” dedicated to artists’ contributions to the great U.S. tradition of state fairs with more than 240 artworks on view, dating from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

Wonderful. At first glance I knew it was from New Mexico, where I was living in 1994.

Very nice composition, showing another quilt "Large Cross" hanging on the left in the background, and a viewer looking to the right, hinting there's another quilt in display in that direction, and giving this photo more depth and dimensions. The patterns of this tapestry are more typical of the traditional art design, but the soft colours made it look uncommon. ~VVVV~
