In the African American church there is often a group of three singers whose job it is to fire up the worshippers to get them ready to receive the sermon. This trio is called the Praise Team and that is what inspired my quilt. Some times the Praise Team wears choir robes, but often they wear their own clothes in matching colors. On this Sunday, the Praise Team is wearing red. Service is going to be on fire today!
Praise Team Praising is part of the traveling exhibit of O.V. Brantley’s solo exhibit of her red and white quilts entitled Long Time Coming: A Retrospective of O.V. Brantley’s Red and White Quilts. The exhibit premiered in Atlanta, GA November 19, 2022 and will be featured at the 2023 International Quilt Festival in Houston November 1-5. The original quilt is currently not for sale.
The unframed archival pigment print (AKA Giclee) of Praise Team Praising is printed on 100% cotton rag museum quality paper and framed with a white mat. Giclee prints are the state-of-the-art museum quality print medium today. The size of the matted print is 16 X 20 inches which will allow you to easily find a standard frame for it.
I signed the print on the front. It will be shipped with care and delivered in a clear plastic bag ready for framing. Limited quantities of the print is offered for sale for $450 in my studio store.
