The New Quilt 2024 Preview: Tania Tanti

Today we highlight Get Down In Green by Tania Tanti that incoporates painting, free motion embroidery and quilting.

As a contemporary artist specializing in textile art, Tania utilizes a diverse range of mediums such as dyeing, painting, thread painting, and stitching to construct my pieces. She is particularly drawn to bold and contrasting colors, allowing shapes, characters, and imaginary landscapes to organically emerge and intertwine within my artworks. Occasionally, a glimpse into her thoughts on life can be found, often conveyed with a touch of humor. 

Tania's objective is to challenge the conventional perception of quilting and to encourage others to appreciate the uniqueness, excitement, and intricacy inherent in textile works. The countless hours, honed skills, and challenges faced while working with textiles as a medium are not widely recognized, and she believes it is crucial to emphasize in our modern era, the part that the textile medium plays in our contemporary art space and the distinctiveness of such unique artful creations.
