Els Mommers – Time #1
Artist statement: TIME #1: EGYPT 1333- 1323 BC
For this year’s series on the theme of Time I have chosen to make quilts related to ancient art from countries we visited years ago.
My first country is Egypt . Visiting TIME: 2005
I made a rubbing of a piece of art we bought in Egypt but didn’t survive the trip.
The image probably comes from images in the tombs of the valley of the Kings in Luxor.
The rubbing is done on some very light ice dyed fabric. All the contours are sewn with the machine and some parts painted with black and gold acrylic paint.
It is sewn onto a piece of rusted fabric
The background is quilted with a feather pattern and echo quilting.
ORIGINAL ARTWORK.

Great subject choice and great way of transforming Egyptian motifs into fabric. Love the rich texture of this piece, well done!
I love your subject choice and this is a great beginning! The Egyptian motifs lend themselves to interpretation and you have produced a really interesting piece. Great colours and stitching, well done.
