Scott Andresen

Furrow, 2006, Quilt, 48" x 30"

I never really considered quilting in terms of art before but, Scott Andresen’s quilts really opened my eyes. The patchwork designs in many of these pieces would easily rival any abstract painting, with extraordinary color and composition. Many of the quilts feature map motifs or aerial views of urban landscapes such as strip mall parking lots and urban sprawl. In some of the pieces he playfully introduces traditional quilting designs to the map topography. These are interesting, well-made works of art in a refreshing and unexpected medium.
