Pixeladies Cameron Park, California A love of language and word forms combine with a strong sense of social justice to drive the Pixeladies (Kris Sazaki and Deb Cashatt) to make art out of headlines. Their dramatic imagery is formed from collages painstakingly cut and composed from the headlines featured in a wide array of publications. The Pixeladies then scan the collages into the computer and print the final version onto fabric using fiber reactive dyes in their printer. The resulting whole-cloth quilt is densely quilted by machine. Each political statement is laced with humor, making the experience of Pixeladies’ artwork unforgettable.
