Second Life is a show of quilt-referenced fiber art by artists who had previous careers in fields unrelated to art.   The show also reflects quilt-making’s second life that started in the quilt revival of the 1970s when artists evolved the quilt from bedcover to art. 
 
Their work is grounded in traditional American quilt techniques but the quilt per se is almost unrecognizable as the art form of quilts has transitioned from the bed to the wall, from “quilt” to “fiber art.”
