A new exhibition of quilts will go online on the Hi-Desert Nature Museum’s website. Managing editor Tami Roleff has more information about the show called “Stitching California”…
“Stitching California” displays quilts from more than 40 artists who pay tribute to iconic California views and native flora. But other themes also emerge: the impacts of drought, flood, and fire; the effects of the Gold Rush, and persecutions faced by California’s indigenous peoples, Hispanics, and Japanese residents who were interned during World War II. The quilts also contain references to industry, economy, geography, and topography, and run the emotional gamut from hope to despair. The exhibit will be on the museum’s website, hidesertnaturemuseum.org, through April 4.
