A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Susan Antell begins with her own hand dyed wool for her Hubble Space Series of art quilts. Eight quilts in the group, each piece is an abstract artistic representation of photographs taken by the Hubble telescope. Susan lives in Minnesota and currently teaches color theory and fabric dyeing classes at the Textile Center.
After she dyes a piece of wool, she takes a look at the shapes made by the dyeing process and allows that to determine the composition. Embellished with beads and embroidery, each piece is bold and powerful in color and nuanced in detail that gives it dimension.
