Violette says “Alby considers her work as a fiber artist and her work as a recycling activist, as ‘interwoven.’ Historically, quilting has been an exercise in recycling, and through her quilts, Alby tries to connect with those primary functions of quilting – taking what is no longer useful and recreating it for a new purpose. Alby hopes that through the visibility of her work and the work of others, i.e. “Beyond the Fringe,” “Artes de Descartes,” and “The Glam Trash Fashion Show,” – to name a few local group shows whose common thread is recycling – we may succeed in changing our perceptions of functionality and never throwing away another piece of fiber.”
