Northern Eyes – Inut Antiquity, 2007<br />

Sonja Ohlmann (Leduc, AB)<br />

<strong>Quilt</strong>ed cottons and velvet, with crystals, yarns, and trims; machine<br />

quilted with fusing and thread painting. 75.5" x 48.5"<br />

<strong>The</strong> northern lights have been here forever; we<br />

watch them any dark, starry night and will continue<br />

to watch in amazement for years to come here in<br />

Canada, wondering if someone is watching us back.<br />

Alberta Road, 2007<br />

Sonja Ohlmann (Leduc, AB)<br />

Commercial fabrics and batiks; quilted with thread painting on fused<br />

fabrics, pen and ink. 35" x 27"<br />

Have people not followed after one another for<br />

eons? Hutterites have not changed in several hundred<br />

years, so this scene could have happened literally<br />

yesterday, today, or tomorrow.<br />

Inspiration came from a Canadian Press photo of<br />

four Hutterite girls crossing a bridge on the Red<br />

Deer River – helping during a flood. Permission for<br />

artistic reference to the original photo received from the<br />

Canadian Press.
