Artist Statement

The Venus Fly Trap is a carnivorous plant which feeds on any hapless ant, spider, or beetle drawn to investigate the brightly colored leaves. As soon as the trigger hairs surrounding the leaves are stimulated - SNAP! The unlucky insect becomes dinner. This piece is created through improvisational curved piecing, and is made of both commercially printed and hand dyed cotton fabric.

Artist Biography

Molly Eckes Flowers

Griffin, GA

Molly Eckes Flowers is an artist whose medium of choice is fabric and thread. Fascinated by the color-play and tactile properties of traditional quilts, she discovered the raw materials of that time-honored craft could be used in much the same way as a painter uses paint and brush. Her work has been exhibited in both the US and internationally. She is a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates. Having lived in the Low Country of South Carolina for several years, she now resides in Georgia.
