En traditionel quilt er en praktisk brugsgenstand som f.eks. et sengetæppe eller en pyntegenstand i et rum.En artquilt er ikke en brugsgenstand men et kunstnerisk værk med helt andre funktioner.Der ingen ´rigtig´ måde at skabe en artquilt på!Quiltekunstnere er - ligesom alle andre kunstnere - helt deres egne.I bogen Danske Artquilts kommer du helt ind under huden på 21 af Danmarks førende Quiltekunstnere, som hver især fortæller om den proces, det er at skabe en artquilt - fra inspiration over valg af materialer og fremstillingsteknikker til den færdige quilt med et ønskede udtryk. Nogle arbejder konkret og målrettet mens andre er meget søgende i processen - det er spændende og meget inspirerende læsning.Læs detaljeret om hvordan konkrete ting som f.eks. træstammer, dansen Lancier, den grønlandske natur, en by i Guatemala og mere abstrakte ting som ´lys forude´, ´afrikanske drømme´ og ´intet skjold er skjul for skæbnen´ er blevet omsat til smukke artquilts.Til enkelte af quiltene er der instruktioner og mønstre.Store, smukke fotos viser quiltene i deres helhed og nærfotos gør det muligt at se og studere quiltene helt ned i detaljerne.Bogen giver et indblik i quiltekunstnernes univers og samtidig er den meget inspirerende for alle som interesserer sig for quilt som udtryksform - såvel den traditionelle som den kunstneriske.Om forfatterneBogens 21 forfattere er alle medlemmer af den danske gruppe ´QuilteQunstnerne´, der har artquilt som det centrale omdrejningspunkt.Selv om QuilteQunstnerne er en gruppe i stadig bevægelse, har de sammen siden 1996 blandt meget andet skabt 5 temaudstillinger, der har været vist både i Danmark, Norden og andre europæiske lande.Flere af QuilteQunstnerne har udstillet på censurerede udstillinger rundt om i verden.
