My wife recently attended a quilt conference. Interestingly, there was a meeting website where one could view all of the exhibited work in one place in the form of a grid. What struck me right away was that most of the work was loud, boisterous, clamoring for attention, turned up to eleven. Elbows out. So much so, that the quieter pieces were somewhat lost in the mix. It would appear that nuance has never been more out of favor than at present.
