Catherine Kleeman is a fiber artist whose work blends precision craftsmanship with elements of chance in her pieces. Her stunning fiber works are described as dialoguing between fiber art and abstract painting. Kleeman is fascinated with color, composition, and the possibilities of thread and fabric in her process. While technically quilts, her pieces are uniquely her own take on the form that are rich in the traditions of both quilting and abstract painting.
2. Catherine Kleemans stunning fiber pieces are the results of an interweaving of precision craftsmanship and the play of chance, as well as a dialogue between fiber art and abstract painting. Jason Fagan, 22 nd Annual Critics Residency, Maryland Art Place
19. Kleeman is fascinated by color and composition, by the possibilities of thread and fabric, by the process itself. Her work does fit the technical definition of a quilt two pieces of fabric enclosing a layer of batting but the results are uniquely her own. The result is something that is beautifully rich in two traditions: that of the quilter, transformed and transfigured, and that of the abstract painter.
