“Margaret Anderson builds up layer upon layer to create a remarkable luminosity of
color.”
--Dorothy Twining Globus, Curator of Exhibitions, Museum of Arts & Design, New York, NY.
“Margaret Anderson's abstract work Lichens # 2 introduced themes and approaches representative of the larger body of her work. Abstract shapes and colors inspired by her environment inform the work. Her affinity for organic visual space and quiet visual movement appear key to the composition. An interest in organza, delicate glazes of acrylic painting and subtle undulations of surface through hand stitching were evident. The delicacy, specificity and sheer quantity of Margaret's hand stitching conveys strength beyond its quiet visual
presence.” --Paula Scaffidi, textile artist
“Margaret Anderson mixes mediums by adding acrylic paint to a composition that also includes hand appliqué and quilting. Yet the painted elements are so dependent on the sewn ones for their total effect that her buoyant lyrical abstraction seems entirely at home in this
exhibition.” --Ed McCormack, art critic, Gallery&Studio, February/March, 2006
“Anderson's....process is a labor of love that involves countless hours of inspiration, devotion and patience. The results are stunning, truly unique works of
art.” --Helga Freund, Kudos, May 2006
“Margaret Anderson's Lichens # 4 resembles fallen petals carpeting soil under a spring tree. Layers of irregularly shaped transparent and translucent pieces are spaced and separated--as if by a batting of air. Looking through the superimposition of sheer fabrics creates a moiré effect as delicate as
frost.”
--Lois Martin, Surface Design Journal, Fall 2006
