Wave Set
This quilt pattern creates topographical shock waves in its radiating systems of color and incremental complexity. Color is used to synthesize several places into one. Gold and iridescent purple refer to Mardà Gras in New Orleans, the gradients of brown and primary colors are from Memphis, and the dark green and light orange are from Morganton. The low intensity of color conveys calmness while the color gradations create the illusion of spirals and continuous movement.
