(a) Layering, lettering, the usage of photographs, a strong sense of texture, and a fondness for monochromatic tones are characteristics of Jette’s work. “I’m interested in the relationship between time and language,” she says. “Here, I rusted the fabric with objects we found in the ground when we were rebuilding our home.”

quilter’s profile
Former journalist and jazz club owner Jette Clover was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, but has lived, worked, exhibited, and taught widely across Europe and the United States. She now lives in Belgium with her husband, an American jazz musician. Quilting is the culmination of her deeply artistic nature. “My work is constructed like collage, and it’s as much about touch as it is about vision,” she says. Enraptured by texture, she often combines cotton, linen, silk, cheesecloth, and paper, and applies a variety of surface techniques, including painting, printing, and screening.
