Joy Saville's art quilts are beautiful representations of light reacting with nature. Through subtle color variation, these fabric mosaics portray the beautiful dancing movement of light. They are exquisite abstract images.

CANYON FALLS was created after a family hike in an Arizona canyon. I had been working on a public art proposal and had many color and texture samples with synthetic, metallic and sheer fabrics as well as the usual cotton, linen and silk ready for use. As I began to work with these colors and textures, the canyon falls came to mind and the work evolved.
