Denise Burge




Denise Burge is a professor at the University of Cinniciatti school of arts. She taught one of my painting professors. These are three of her quilts. She took up fabrics as her mode of creation after she painted so many large paintings, so quickly that she devoloped carpal tunnel. Her quilts resemble what she could do with a brush, the stiches loose like drawing. She's also made some music videos as performance pieces with her imaginary rock band, The Dozens. She makes the music and then makes a video collaborating with a different friend, who is the inspiration, each time.
