 ic. \n\nPat Olding is palette knife painter and outdoor enthusiast. She li

  with her long hair dachshund\, Reese at her feet. \n\nPAT OLDING'S STATEM
 ENT ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION:\n\nMontana Fabric\, like all my painting\, is d
 esigned to create a path to discovery for me the viewer. The twenty-plus p
 aintings are primarily comprised of two unlikely compositional elements\, 
 majestic Montana animals and precise quilt or fabric designs. The purpose 
 of the juxtaposition of these two elements is to demonstrate that the incl
 usion of both these elements\, even though not dependent on each other\, t
 hey both benefit and are enriched by each other. \n\nOn the surface we can
  appreciate the majestic animals with simple pattern’s\, existing in the s
 ame time\, contributing to the same painting. They are threads crossing ea
 ch other being fastened into the painting like the interlocking strokes an
 d layers of paint. \n\nWithout each thread fabric becomes unwoven. Without
  each element the society fabric as we know it does not exist. This show i
 s about the celebration of each and every thread that makes Montana whole.
  With an understanding of the multiple elements\, we acknowledge everyone’
 s good talents and contributions. This is what makes our community enjoyab
 le\, profitable and supportive. \n\nThe concept for this show came about a
 fter reading that Sidney\, Montana women (like many other American women) 
 created quilts for auction during WWII. The proceeds were used to buy ciga
 rettes and candies for the soldiers. These unsung talents were used to sup
 port the war effort. I thought if I recognized these efforts with some of 
 the most majestic elements of Montana\, they would be seen as equal thread
 s of the fabric. By doing this I am also hoping viewers will recognize all
  the talents\, all the efforts and all the treads that make the Montana Fa
 bric. \n\nThe combination of animals and quilts is sometimes bold and othe
 r times subtle. The beauty of each element and their relationship on my ca
 nvas are meant to provide visual beauty and provoke thoughtfulness. Please
  accept the show as appreciation for Montana.\n
