The Gates, Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Central Park, New York City.
Community Partnerships R D & D of Central Pennsylvania decided to attempt a regional, possibly statewide quilt trail. Because of my background in Art and Environmental Studies, I was asked to spearhead this program.
As an artist (my website can be found at sharon@sharon-lee.com) I am approaching this project as a large scale sculpture much in the same manner of Christo and his wife, Jeanne Claude.Quilt Trails are basically a layperson's version of what Christo and Jeanne Claude did with their fabulous alfresco sculptures.By using already existing architectural structures and/or natural landscapes, painted 8' x 8' quilt squares are installed at strategic settings drawing the viewer's attention to a place of historic, educational or interest.
