A VISIT WITH HARLEM QUILTER/FIBER ARTIST DINDGA MC CANNON: HOAST HARLEM ARTIST STUDIO TOURS & JERSEY CITY GROUP GALLERY OPENING

THIS IS PART OF THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN IN THE ARTIST DINDGA MC CANNON WORK/LIVE STUDIO SPACE, HER WORK/LIVE SPACE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN ONE OF HER QUILTED WORKS OF ART.

THIS IS A DETAILED IMAGE OF DINDGA'S MAMA'S SOFA THAT SHE INHERITED AND ONE OF HER BEAUTIFUL QUILTED WALL PIECES. DINDGA HAS THIS RICH, FULL, FUNKY AESTHETIC THAT I LOVE.

ANY FIBER ARTIST THAT HAS NOT CREATED A COLLECTION OF RAG DOLL IN NOT A ARTIST SERIOUS ABOUT EXPLORING THE CLOTH.



I LOVED THIS HUGE QUILT OF THIS WOMAN COMING ALL OUT OF THE FRAME, IT HAS A STEPPING-OUT QUALITY TO IT.

THIS OBAMA QUILT PIECE "ROCKS".



HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYONE QUILT OVER FEATHERS LIKE THIS... YOU GO Ms DINDGA!!!!... YOU WORK "THEM" FIBER.

DINDGA HAS INVESTED IN GOOD SEWING EQUIPTMENT, SO THAT SHE CAN REALLY WORK AT FULFILLING HER VISION. I LOVE THIS FREE FLOWING QUILTING SO MUCH, I COULD SCREAM.... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!...


I LOVE THE TECHNIQUE DINDGA USES WITH STITCHING OVER LOOSE FIBER & FEATHER TO CREATE THIS MOVING & DELIGHTFUL SOFT FEELING.


DINDGA'S QUILTED ARTIST JOURNAL TEXTILE BOOK, THIS BOOK IS SOOOOO MAGICAL.

_________________________________________________.
OCT 5, 2008 WAS HOAST HARLEM OPEN ARTIST STUDIO TOURS, I WAS NOT ABLE TO BE A PART OF THE TOUR THIS YEAR BECAUSE MOST OF MY ART WORK IS ON TOUR. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO VISIT SHIMODA AND CHECK OUT HER NEW JEWLERY. EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE I WANTED IT. HER TREATS WERE NICE ALSO.

I HAD TO GO OVER TO JERSEY CITY, TO GO MY THE JERSEY CITY MUSEUM TO SEE BEN JONE'S RETROSPECT. IT WAS DYNAMIC, I HAVE TO GO BACK AND VIEW THE WORK WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME.

I HAD TO RUN BY DINGA MC CANNONS PLACE, SHE WAS PART OF THE HARLEM OPEN ARTIST STUDIO TOUR, DINGA HAS BEEN WORKING AS A FIBER ARTIST FOR OVER 30 YEARS, SO SHE REALLY KNOWS HOW AND IS ABLE TO FILL HER WORK LIVE SPACE WITH HER ART WORK.

BEING IN HER SPACE MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I AM IN ONE HER MANY WORKS OF ART.
