Lynn Morrell, in a solo show at the Edinburgh Gallery at the Bermuda Society of Arts City Hall Gallery, has both jewellery, her profession, and quilts, her passion, on show.

I know almost nothing about jewellery and couldn?t say a sensible word about it, but, like most people, I know what I like when I see it. What I saw, I liked. It has both grace and elegance with none of the brash vulgarity that informs much ?modern? jewellery design. All made in silver and incorporating anything from beach glass and pottery shards to semi-precious stones, the colours are subtle and understated, adding to the stylish simplicity of the silver.

I know more than a little about what goes into the creation of quilts. The technical expertise demonstrated in the creation of Lynn Morrell?s quilts is of the highest standard. As with any medium the ability to create any form of art depends on a measure of technical expertise and the result here is a wide variety of fascinating expressions superbly executed.

I?m not sure I would have called ?Grandma?s Yard? a quilt exactly. It is small and incorporates buttons and other findings from her grandmother?s back yard. It is intricate and exquisite, layered and dimensional. Also small and intricate, ?Postcards? is comparable in its way to Jonah Jones? weather duo and Chris Marson?s ?Rain off the Point? in the adjacent Onions gallery.

?Colour Study? is an absorbing abstract in blues and greens created in textured layers and punctuated with small pieces of coral. Again this would barely qualify as a quilt, but the technique is that of quilting. Much more like a quilt is ?Palmetto?, a masterly rendition that brings the painting style and quality of Otto Trott to mind. It is done in painted cotton, layered and appliqu?d and has rich visual texture and dramatic style. The same goes for ?Kites?, a more formal, quilt-like arrangement with colour, movement and excitement.

?Old Walls? is an architectural background with a banana tree in the foreground. The overall impression is of strong sunlight. The banana leaves are darkly shaded, textured and, in one case, rendered in three dimensions.

So technically brilliant is this one that it could almost pass for a painting. ?Locust and Wild honey? is a study of the fascinating pierced leaves of this plant, again done in painted cotton, layered, complex and dramatic.

?Dark Pond? is a traditionally laid out quilt with painted cotton Bay Grape leaves floating on a rich background of lush blues and turquoise. Another lush background, this time red, sets off an intricate design of appliqu?d fabric painted to resemble blue and white porcelain. The effect is dramatic and brings to mind rich oriental costumes.

The size of the Edinburgh Gallery dictates a small show. In this one there is a very large amount of exacting, patient work. The end certainly justifies the means. The show is as exquisite as the work involved in it.
