Victoria Findlay Wolfe:
Option Expedition
About the Exhibition
In Option Expedition, Victoria Findlay Wolfe takes basic shapes of patchwork — square, circle, triangle, parallelogram — and breaks down design principles of space, balance, scale, line, shape, color, emphasis, contrast, value, repetition, movement, texture, and unity to look at the bold, beautiful choices available.
As a teacher, Victoria Findlay Wolfe finds that people often spend so much time trying to edit their work that they get stuck making decisions, which makes it hard to move forward. Findlay Wolfe believes each idea is a good one, or has the potential to be a good one. By changing the way they look at each of those design elements, artists can train themselves to see differently in their own creative process. Findlay Wolfe hopes that this exploration will inspire other artists to ponder their own journey while viewing her work.

“I love QUILTING for myself and I love QUILTING for other people. It makes me very happy to be commissioned to make a QUILT for someone who I know will cherish it. A QUILT I have made keeps me attached to the people who live with it and that, besides my loving family, brings me the greatest joy.”
