Diane Savona incorporates many used and salvaged materials in her quilted art. Her work has been shown primarily in the local area where she collects her materials: art from - and for - her community. In the past two years, she has begun to show her work on a national level.

Scratching the Surface
$350

Layers of cotton, silk organza, netting, segments of a vintage calendar towel, phototransfers, snaps and hooks
Machine and hand sewn, fused, phototransferred and cut

By cutting through the recent top layers, I have exposed the vintage cloth and images of the past. The hooks and snaps invite the viewer to connect with the intensely stitched layers.
