Patricia Belyea says: "Hang onto your hats!"

Patricia Belyea of Okan Arts flew all the way from Seattle to see Found/Made at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. Then she writes a beautiful review of the exhibition. I could not be more honored. Thank you, Patricia!

Patricia managed to see the exhibition just before it closes on November 1, 2015. She also made great use of her time and visited the studio of Joe Cunningham. Joe has two pieces in Found/Made -- Bed, After Rauschenberg and Circular Logic. Be sure to also read about her conversation with Joe.


Found/Made
11 July - 1 November 2015
San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles
520 S. First Street
San Jose, CA


Jammed together, the rowdy collection exuded an air of naive wackiness. Imperfect blocks, mismatched seams, sloppy stitches and a brash polyester number introduced the show’s divergence from the ordinary.
