"From a distance, the works created
by Amherst textiles artist Deborah Kruger seem to blend together
in their similar shapes, sizes and color schemes. Yet up close,
they display details and patterns as if there were a conversation
occurring amount the pieces"
Amherst Bulletin 3-21-03 |
"A single one of her smaller pieces
looks fanciful, abstractly beautiful and richly imagined - alive
with intricate stitching, bright colors and Kruger's over-the-top
adoration of the triangle. Two entire rooms filled with them drive
home how valuable it is, for artists like Kruger, to land on an
idea and then be guided by it."
Daily Hampshire Gazette 3-31-03 |

"Her medium is textiles and paint,
which she fashions into triangle-shaped pieces that suggest forest
colors and her interest in art from West Africa and the Amazon
Basin.
Kruger's interest in textiles grows out of her training as a textile
designer at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York."
Springfield Republican 4-20-03 |
"Kruger is an award-winning fiber
artist and nationally recognized speaker. Her presentation explores
the overlap between the work of fiber artists and the work of
feminist activists."
Amherst Bulletin 10-24-03 |

"Working in wax, resin and pigment,
applied to neatly cut slices of colorful fabric, Kruger's fascination
with the basic geometry of the triangular form yields a visceral
projection of feminine energy that is erotically charged and a
marvel of multi-layered design."
