A selection of quilts featuring UNL's scarlet and cream school colors seemed a fitting way to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the founding of the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The IQSC was established in 1997 to encourage the interdisciplinary study of all aspects of quiltmaking traditions and to foster preservation of the tradition through the collection, conservation and exhibition of quilts and related materials.

Geometric forms become the language artists Leah Sorensen Hayes and Judith James use to explore place and human relationships to it. They are exhibiting their work at the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery located on the UNL East Campus, September 9-27, 2002 .

The exhibition includes works by Professor Kim that represent her use of traditional Asian natural dye materials, including safflower, indigo, sappon wood, yellow ochre dye, combined with traditional construction techniques in unconventional formats.

Ms. Suntop has been working for over a year on unusual hats and headdresses from mixed media for this show.
