The vocabulary of quilts is an addition to the language of art, because of its extensive use of layer and texture. The artists exhibited in Speaking in Cloth: 6 Quilters, 6 Voices use cloth, batting and thread to tell their stories and record their explorations. The far-ranging experiments of these artists have resulted in an exhibit that demonstrates the possibilities of art quilts.

Ann Johnston - First, Ann learned to sew, then she learned to dye fabric. In between, she earned a degree in Literature from Stanford University and a Masters in Geography at the University of Oregon. She taught new math in Lima, Peru, raised two sons in Oregon with her husband Jim, and started quilting. Ann's years of experimentation with dye and fabric have led to piles of quilts, worldwide travel, numerous group and solo exhibitions, and five books. Her collectors respect her viewpoint and her students admire her generosity and skill in teaching what she knows.
