“Cranes on Parade” provided a very
different way for textile artist Molly Anderson to approach
her medium of choice - fabric. Anderson’s award winning art quilts
have been exhibited extensively throughout the Midwest. Inspiration
for the crane project came to her when she found some reproduction
fabric of her favorite artist, Gustav Klimt. About fifteen
different Klimt reproduction fabrics were used, combining
concentrated areas of pattern with large areas of decorative
solids. The fabric was applied decoupage style to the crane
surface. About five days of focused work completed the crane.
