Plate Installation


 Finally, we are all gathered in Columbus for the Quilt & Surface Design Symposium. When we arrived to set up at the Columbus College of Art & Design, we found this strangely ethereal sculpture hanging in one of the larger class spaces. Dozens of paper plates move and sway as people walk by. The piece changes as the sun rises and sets. Who would imagine that paper plates could be transformed into an enchanting installation? Art students, of course. For me, the recycling bin that stands right there next to it is the icing on this proverbial cake.
