Jn.thei980s Crow taught herself strip-piecing and began tentatively practicing the technique. Strip-piecing is the sewing together of strips of fabric, any length, width or color to create a new fabric. The process can take weeks to produce enough new fabric which then can be cut and restructured. Crow describes her quilt-making style as contemporary.

The only traditional aspects of her quilts are that they are pieced and hand-quilted. The purpose of quilt-making for Crow is to create something beautiful. The art also is a means for her to express feelings and experiences. It's about how she sees color and color relationships, how she sees shapes and line and linear movement. For Crow it is about the process of discovery.

It's about pushing herself to think in even more complex ways. Source: Johnson-Humrickhouse ketry. Barnes' art differs from other art forms because she begins by hunting and gathering the natural materials bark, wood, grasses and stone that 'she's going to use." Barnes only uses trees that have fallen naturally or have been marked for removal. Her love and respect for nature requires her to "leave the land as untouched as she found it." Barnes also plants and grows saplings on her property, working on site when time and circumstance allow. She chooses live trees to scar, graft, bend or bind, tending them for months or in some cases years, before harvesting them.

The artist considers her pieces primarily non-functional though there are baskets and vessels in the collection.

"The exhibit is a wonderful opportunity for the community to view the works of world renowned artists," said Patti Malenke, director of the museum. Barnes, of Worthington, has had a relationship with wood for more than 50 years and has used nature as the medium to create her pieces since the 1970s. Her craft is weaving bark into baskets and shapes. Crow, of Baltimore, has been a quilter since the 1970s.

Throughout the years she learned a strip-piecing technique which makes her quilts unique. "I have admired and been influenced by (Nancy Crow's) work over the years," Barnes said.
