Jane Ingram Allen finished her artist in residency project in Lancaster, CA, on Saturday March 12, 2016, with the installation of the Lancaster Eco-Quilt.  This public art project was completed during Jane’s one month artist-in-residency at the Lancaster Museum of Art & History, Cedar Center for the Arts.lancaster eco quilt installed IMG_5555  lancaster eco quilt installed closer IMG_5573  lancaster eco quilt detail of installation IMG_5374

At a public ceremony on Saturday, local participants laid down the 20 squares of the handmade paper quilt created with community participation during the residency.  The Lancaster Eco-Quilt has seeds for wildflowers in the paper pulp and was placed on a prepared bed of soil.  A headboard and footboard of local willow branches was created by the artist with the help of local participants.  The quilt is in three colors and the gold poppy flowers in the quilt pattern have seeds for California poppies in the pulp.  In the blue parts of the quilt blocks there are seeds for California bluebells, and in the white parts there are seeds to grow white poppies and Baby’s Breath wildflowers.  Several children and families helped to install the Lancaster Eco-Quilt and stake down the handmade paper quilt with leaves from a dead Joshua Tree.  Here are some photos of the installation of the Lancaster Eco-Quilt.

The Lancaster Eco-Quilt will continue on view at Hull Park in Lancaster, California.  Hull Park is located on West 20th Street near the intersection of Avenue L-8.   Over time the handmade paper will dissolve into mulch and the wildflower seeds sprout and grow to bloom in the quilt pattern.  Local people will send Jane photos of the changes over time to post on this Blog.  Here are some photos showing the quilt being installed and the finished installation on March 12.  The photos here are by Timothy S.

Jane’s residency in Lancaster was supported by WEAD (Women Eco-Artist Dialog (www.weadartists.org) and the Lancaster Museum of Art & History, Cedar Center for the Arts (www.lancastermoah.org)

Jane Ingram Allen’s WEAD Artist in Residency Project in Lancaster, CA continues this Saturday, March 5, with a Public Workshop at the site for the Lancaster Eco-Quilt at Hull Park, 30th Street West and Avenue J-8, Lancaster. The Public Workshop will be to build a headboard and footboard for the “flower bed” using local branches and all natural local materials. The Workshop will be Saturday, May 5 from 11AM to 1 PM and then from 3 PM to 5 PM at Hull Park.

Hull Park Staff helps to prepare the site for the Eco-Quilt and puts a protective fence around the site.

You can see the “bed” is already taking shape as the park’s maintenance crew took up the grass at the selected site and put in some soil to shape a bed and then erected a temporary fence around the area to protect it until the artwork is installed. Come out this Saturday to help build the headboard and footboard using local branches and all biodegradable natural materials.

Everyone is also invited to come out to Hull Park next Saturday, March 12, 2-4 PM to help install the handmade paper quilt with seeds in the pulp to grow California Poppies, California Blue Bells and Baby’s breath wildflowers.  The Lancaster Eco-Quilt is all biodegradable and will produce new life as the all biodegradable quilt dissolves and the seeds start to sprout, grow and bloom.

Making the Eco-Quilt Squares in Lancaster, CA

The Lancaster MOAH Cedar Arts Center and WEAD artist in residency project in Lancaster, CA, continues with community participation in papermaking workshops to create the quilt block for the Lancaster Eco-Quilt. The blocks are each 20 inches square and composed of 4 sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 inch pieces of paper.  Each sheet of paper has an image of a California golden poppy flower with a blue background. The borders of the quilt are 4 inches wide and made with a natural off-white paper pulp made from local plants mixed with some abaca. The yellow-orange poppy paper made from local plants mixed with some abaca and dyed with non-toxic liquid fiber reactive dye has seeds for California golden poppies and a mix of Southwest yellow wildflowers in it. The blue colored pulp made from recycled blue jeans and mixed with local plant pulps and dyed abaca pulp has seeds for California desert bluebells and a mix of Southwest blue flowers in it. The white borders have seeds for Baby’s Breath (small white flowers) and for Ivory Castle Poppies, a white poppy.

Here are some photos of making the Eco-Quilt squares. The design is made with stencils on the paper moulds, and we have 3 different design stencils. Each quilt block is unique as people decorated them in different ways and combined the three stencils in their own way. The public workshop on Saturday, Feb. 27 was a fun day of papermaking for the public to help create the quilt blocks for the Lancaster Eco-Quilt. We even had some parents and children come in to make some paper for the quilt squares.
