I wanted to do a project incorporating the Liberty Bridge in Falls Park in Greenville, SC. I thought about doing an acrylic painting, featuring this curving pedestrian bridge. Then I came across a quilt pattern called, I believe, New York Beauty.
This pattern features spinning circles, that are usually cut into quarters. Each quarter can have a different color combination, and the circles can sometimes flow in to one another and interlock.
I though this flowing pattern would be great to represent the water flowing over the falls in Falls Park. But, although I had fun piecing and designing the twisting bottom part, I think it overtakes the overall image and the landscape and bridge get lost. I still like the completed paper collage, I just wish it had come out a little more balanced.
