Yes, the pipe and drape setting was used throughout the majority of the exhibits. A key exception was grey carpet boards used in the SAQA exhibit.
The light shining through is more pronounced in non-flash photography. In real life, the drapes were more opaque.
Thanks for all the photos Lisa. I was so busy soaking up the vibe that I took very few photos and I was not quick enough to capture the African woman in traditional garb that was studying Jenny's quilt intently.
Thanks so much for sharing these photos - it's a real thrill to see them 'in situ'. If you get a chance, it would be great to know what the feedback is like from visitors also!
Can't say I like the way they hang quilts on those black clothes that the light shows through. Were all the quilts at Houston hung the same way?
