About the Item

"Diamond Quilt" is a mixed media art piece by artist, Susan Stover. Diamond Quilt, is made of cardboard, exterior house paint, acrylic paint, varnish and hand sewn together with waxed linen thread. Inspired by her love of textiles and eastern cultural design elements, Stover creates monumental quilt-like pieces that also occupy the space of being a sculpture. This piece measures to 30"w x 50"h and is featured in Colibri Gallery's newest exhibition, SHAPE / SHIFT. Exploring the transformative creative processes of two San Francisco Bay Area Artists, and how they utilize unconventional materials in a contemporary procedure of upcycling, transforming humble materials into extraordinary works of art. About the Artist: Susan Stover is an interdisciplinary artist based in Upstate New York. She holds an MFA from California College of the Arts in Oakland and a BFA from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Her work explores the process of creating as well as the patterns of daily life and considers associated aspects of repetition, meditation, and ritual. Trained in textiles with an interest in cultural history, Stover utilizes traditional fiber techniques and surface design patterns to transform humble materials such as cardboard and house paint into quilt-like objects. Pieces of cardboard are cut to fit together like a puzzle and are painted and distressed. Once assembled by hand-sewing, they create playful abstract compositions that function on a micro and macro scale. Stover’s paintings are part of many private and corporate collections. She is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY. She also teaches workshops online from her Northern California studio, in person at other locations in the U.S., and internationally.

  • Extraordinary + Fun, Red and Aqua Acrylic Wreath Drop Earrings by Nikki Couppee
    Located in Morgan Hill, CA
    Red and Aqua Wreath Drop Earrings are made from acrylic gemstones set in brass frames with sterling silver and fine silver ear components. Each ‘stone’ is hand cut, sanded, and polished to resemble her own version of gemstones that sparkle with holographic material. By utilizing multiple gauges of acrylic and brass these earrings are large, but lightweight and easy to wear. About the Artist: Nikki Couppee is originally from Pensacola Beach, Florida and currently resides in Oakland, California. She holds an MFA in Jewelry/ Metals from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio and a BFA in Jewelry/ Metals from the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. Her work examines the connection between adornment and social status. Using non-traditional materials such as acrylic, brass, holographic foil, and found objects, Couppee creates jewelry that appears opulent. By utilizing time-intensive processes, she further references the language of fine jewelry, with the intention of elevating the work. Using everyday materials, she is able to exaggerate the size and abundance of gems to parody class issues inherent in fine jewelry. Couppee's work has been featured in many publications including American Craft, Allure Australia, Marie Claire Australia, Metalsmith Magazine, Modern Magazine, Vogue Brazil, Daily Candy and Lark Book's 500 Enameled Objects. She exhibits her work globally through exhibitions, gallery representation, fairs and recent runway collaborations for Paris' Fashion Week and Australian Fashion Week with designers Romance was Born.
