Our society has a complex relationship to nature. Blue World/Green World, a diverse exhibition of vibrant art quilts, explores this connection. Through multifaceted work that crosses the boundaries of the representative, to the impressionistic, to the abstract - this show reveals the beauty and pathos of our association to the contemporary natural world.
