"Changing
Planes"© 1992, Mariam Nathan-Roberts. 72" x 72"
Miriam grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, and currently resides in Berkeley, CA.
"I
have no depth perception because I have one near sighted eye and one far
sighted eye. So most of my quilts deal with illusions of depth. Because
that’s what keeps me from walking into things.
"I often see shapes in relationship to each other differently than other people. And see them as design. So I think that really is turning lemons in lemonade. I don’t view myself as a corny person in any way, but when I’m making quilts, I feel a connection to women through history. And I’m part of a line."
