SANDRA SIDER, a New York contemporary quilt artist specializing in cyanotype and other photographic processes producing imagery on fabric. In “Art Work” you will find quilts in public collections as well as quilts currently available for purchase and exhibition. You can also learn about my personal quilt history, including quilts by others in my collection that have inspired my work. The “Publications” page documents my writing in fiber art and craft criticism, especially for Fiberarts Magazine; publications that illustrate my quilts are listed in the CV within “Bio”. Exhibitions for which I have served as juror or curator can be found in “Curatorial,” which includes a complete catalogue of the quilts in the Surface Tension exhibition mounted at Kean University in November of 2006. If you are interested in booking Powerpoint lectures concerning quilts as contemporary art or arranging for one of my quilt critique workshops or portfolio reviews, please take a look at the “Teaching” page.
