Guest Curator Luana Rubin discusses “Wish for the Beautiful Earth” by Shizuko Kuroha, which is on display in “For the Love of Gaia” at the International Quilt Museum.
Born in Japan, Shizuko Kuroha lived in the United States for two years in the late 1970s. There she saw an antique quilt and immediately purchased materials to make a quilt of her own. She is known for combining traditional Japanese indigo and sarasa fabrics and manipulation of Log Cabin and mosaic patterns. She has operated a quilt school in Japan for more than 40 years, has students from around the world, and has published several books.
