Born 1948,
London, England
Maintains a studio in Cornwall, England
Susan Denton began quilting in 1979 and has been
teaching quilting techniques since 1982. Her
inspiration comes from the traditions of two
continents: American Amish quilts and British
whole-cloth quilts such as the Durham quilts.
Granite, which is based on a walk across the moors
in Cornwall, depicts one of the area's landmarks, a
stone celebrating the life of a fifth-century
warrior, and includes English and Celtic place names
that she encountered along the walk. |
"Landscape is a
palimpsest on which exist complicated inter-weavings
of natural and man-made patterns." |
