This quilt is part of the national traveling invitational exhibit “Women of Biblical Proportion” curated by mother and daughter team, Ruth Harris and Chantelle Cory. “The exhibit portrays the rich diversity of female biblical characters through contemporary art quilts.
I chose Asenath, she was Josephs wife, as in the well known “Josephs Technicolor Dreamcoat” She was the daughter of an Egyptian priest. Asenath was also of interest to me because this is my sisters middle name.
This quilt was painted with Tsukineko inks and D’uva Chromacoal powders (for her skin) on raw silk. 22” x 22” 2003
