The quilts in the collection reflect the artists' interest in using their medium to give voice to a concern for either the world at large, the environmental and/or political issues addressed by the works, or to express feelings relevant to the particular quilt maker's inner world. For many of today's quilt makers, the graphic and technical elements are the foundations which support the primary concern, the content of the quilt's message.
