Sacred Fiber Art by Elyn Aviva
Field of Crosses
This quilt is also known as “Doublecross.” It is a play on “field and ground,” positive and negative, foreground and background. Some of the crosses appear to be crosses—but are actually formed by the spaces between neighboring crosses: they are formed by absence, rather than presence. The diptych represents the black immensity of night and the pure white light that illumines darkness. Together, they remind me that the velvet darkness and the radiant light are both necessary, not only in the quilt but also in life.
