My new work over the last year reflects my interest in antique and vintage materials.

Over the years of collecting antique cloth for the Pilgrim / Roy Collection I have put aside interesting pieces of pillow / mattress ticking, homespun linen, cotton, wool and silk as well as favorite worn clothing. This new series of quilts has allowed me an opportunity to utilize these bits and pieces.

Using bits and pieces of cloth, cut from things that already exist, forces one to use unfamiliar shapes, sizes and arrangements.

The thickness of the variety of materials requires different and sometimes very creative methods of joining these materials.

However, the challenge has been exciting and the results more of an individual statement.

Gallery Talk by Gerald Roy: Unique Challenges - A personal approach to quilt making will be held at the Stephen Score Gallery in Boston Feb. 12 - Feb. 20, 2010.
