Robot quilts by Kathy Weaver: "Xeni Jardin:


Fancifully folksy quilts that depict robots in an array of odd situations. Shown here, Robot Visits The Farm.






Artist Kathy Weaver says, 'In my work,the robot's setting is that of a tilted stage or shadow box and in this environment the robot is central as a translator of events, an alter ego, a doppelganger. The robot can also be an observer, a soothsayer, a malcontent or a destructor.'


Me, I'm partial to the destructor kind. What say ye now, great oracle of gingham, googly eyes, and cute li'l buttons?

(Thanks, Rob)."
