A solo exhibition of work by ACC Fellow and textile artist Michael James. James, who has built a long visual arts career working with color and pattern in his complex, non-traditional quilts, recently traveled in India where he was most attracted by “the vernacular architecture of the places I visited and the detailing, often eccentric and improbable, that distinguishes one building or alley or interior courtyard from another.” Returning from the trip, James set to work manipulating some of the hundreds of photographs he took while in India, altering color, layering and combining and cropping, and finally printing these “pastiches” as he describes them onto cotton fabric using the digital textile printer in the department of textiles, merchandising and fahion design at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where he serves as professor and department chair. The resulting yardage was then cut, combined and sewn to create evocative textile constructions alluding to the actual and metaphorical doors and passageways through which James traveled while in India.
