While I've always enjoyed Gerrie's work, I rarely focused on the quality of stillness so much as on her exhuberance and love of textile design and her ongoing experimentation while remaining faithful to her own sense of art.<br /><br />I'm humbled to know that my work will be reviewed here shortly. Perhaps I will learn something more about myself from your keen observations...<br /><br />PatPat Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724006295082940515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116918139901366777.post-46351736284707892512009-12-17T01:43:51.544+00:002009-12-17T01:43:51.544+00:00Some of these pieces put me in mind of David Hockn...Some of these pieces put me in mind of David Hockney.

I have no idea what footballers there are or their names, though it does make me smile to think of at least some of them attempting textile art, thanks for that!John Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495250254811460833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116918139901366777.post-12811846303585940882009-12-16T22:44:18.750+00:002009-12-16T22:44:18.750+00:00When I read the name Pat Dolan, I thought you were...When I read the name Pat Dolan, I thought you were talking about the soccer player Pat Dolan. My first thought was, "Gee! I didn't know Dolan was a fiber artist!" :P Silly me! Oh, well. I've had better days, I suppose. :)<br /><br />Anyway, I really like Gerrie's works. I have a hard time following (and thereby understanding) so much of the abstract art out there. Here I can even tell what type of tree the artist is depicting. I love it!<br /><br />Thank you so much, John, for introducing me to so many new fiber artists! I am really enjoying this!Janita R.
