Lafayette,
Louisiana -
Inspired by both graphic design and
vintage quilts, Megan Barra’s ‘Silk Compositions’ will be on view at Cité des
Arts beginning February 8. Guitars,
horns, accordions, and fiddles along with crabs, snakes and coffee cups are
fashioned into silk patchworks of Louisiana culture. Music and the men and women
who play it, along with the Louisiana landscape, provide rich material to draw
from. These works are hand-sewn, sometimes imprinted with original text and
images, and finished on a 1901 treadle sewing machine. Barra’s work has been
exhibited in galleries and museums in South Louisiana, Quebec, and
France.
