For Emily Van Hoff<\/a> (previously<\/a>), the possibilities of quilts extend far beyond two dimensions. From geometric tapestries to faceted weavings and sculptural constructions, the artist traverses a wide array of textile forms.<\/p>\n

“I love giving my quilts more visual weight,” Van Hoff tells Colossal. “I like when they feel more chunky and object-like… So I’ve been exploring a variety of ways to accomplish that.”<\/p>\n

Van Hoff often revisits original sketches and offcuts of earlier pieces, puzzling together new works with a variety of textures, hues, and configurations. One striking recent experiment takes the shape of three chain links, which can be displayed in various orientations by sliding the components around, revealing unique angles and color combinations.<\/p>\n

“Some of my wall hangings have also used pieces that sort of overlap and weave through each other,” Van Hoff says, “and the chain link is the continuation of that idea as well.”<\/p>\n

The artist recently announced a line of quilting fabric she designed for Moda Fabrics<\/a> titled Groove, <\/em>which will be available in stores starting in May next year. The collection expands on her vibrant palette and playful, squiggly motifs.<\/p>\n

“My background is in graphic design,” Van Hoff says. “I’ve always loved textile design, and I worked in a fabric shop in high school, so this is a real dream-come-true moment!”<\/p>\n
