DAM Crazy
Commissioned by Alice Zrebiec, curator of Textile Art at the Denver Art Museum (DAM), the paper quilt DAM Crazy was purchased partially with funds donated by volunteers and docents to honor the deceased mother of Carl Patterson, the former Chief Conservator of the DAM. These funds were supplemented with acquisition funds from the Textile Art department. In addition to being a docent, Jane Mathews also worked at the DAM for many years as a conservation assistant and reviewed many of the textiles in the collection.
