Went to a wonderful panel discussion on Sunday at the San Francisco Main Library sponsored by Contemporary Quilt and Fiber Artists (CQFA). The title was "Primal Green: Environmental Art Quilts" and was held in conjunction with the library's Earth Day programs. There was also a display of CQFA's quilts and fiber art on the fifth floor in the Wallace Stegner Gallery.
The four women on the panel were Jaye Lapachet ( http://artquiltmaker.com/blog), Julie Stiller (http://jzs.homestead.com/), Nancy Riffle (http://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyriffle) and Soyoung Lee (killerhobbies.blogspot.com/2011/03/primal-green.html) and the panel was moderated by Delores Miller.
So what does all this have to do with the Brothel Blog? And strange inspiration? One of the members of CQFA, Bronwen, gave Julie Stiller a lovely piece of fabric, it was sheer and iridescent and changed color, from green to orange, with movement. After the program we were sitting around chatting and the subject of what to do with such fabric came up. Someone suggested it would go well in a brothel! Another mentioned the (former) brothel in Mountain View and how interesting the building is (apparently tours are given?) and another mentioned that prostitution is now legal in New Zealand! (who knew? who cares?) We talked about how the fabric would be used in a brothel and the discussion segued, with much laughter, into other topics as such chats do.
Anyway, if you have the opportunity, go see CQFA's exhibit at the San Francisco Main Library (http://sfpl.org/), it was thoughtfully hung in a wonderful space.
Sorry, no pictures - copyrights, you know :).
