The New Quilt 2024 Preview: Anna Brown

The New Quilt 2024 includes Canopy 27 by Anna Brown, one of the founding artists of The New Quilt exhibition. 

Anna has produced a body of work studying eucalyptus canopies and more recently the impact on them by catastrophic fires. Using photographs from Anna’s immediate environment and a deliberate high contrast colour selection, Anna draws shapes directly onto cotton fabric. Her favourite technique of reverse applique enables her to cut away at the layers and to reposition the shapes until she’s happy with the composition.
