Fences 2025
Theme: Fences
Visible and functional or internal and metaphorical? Decorative or plain, made of wood, iron, or wire, the ranchers and homesteaders of the west valued a strong fence. However, a blizzard, flood, or drifting sand blur the function of boundaries or the efficacy of keeping critters in or out. Fences delineate political and social jurisdictions. As a noun, a fence can be an obstacle in an equestrian event, or as a verb, to fence. Fences may support a flower box, have blooms poking thru, or be the star in the idyllic picket fence home. Perhaps it becomes a key lyric for a song, “Don’t Fence Me In” or a metaphor as in “sitting on the fence” or “side of the fence.” Members of The Art Quilt Association explore their connection to Fences.
