Chris Roberts-Antieau : memory and humor

I first discovered Chris Roberts-Antieau's work at the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore (which is my favorite museum!). She creates these amazing quilt/painting/collages that address a huge range of topics - but all are done in a really humorous way. Here is a link to her website so you can see what I mean: http://www.chrisroberts-antieau.com/000_home.html. I like the way she approaches memory and narrative through a humorous approach.

"Scary Clowns" 2006

"...She doesn’t just mimic a child’s style—she applies a child’s eye to adult realities, reminding viewers not to take themselves too seriously, and giving them a chance to remember again the wonder and joy that children find in the everyday." (from Atomic Needlepoint, the online gallery carrying Chris Roberts-Antieau's work - http://www.atomicneedlepoint.com)
