William "Billy" Reue is an architect, artist, and quilter whose creative pursuits explore the intersections between abstraction and the built environment. Billy’s interest in quilting and fabric design was sparked when he attended a free quilting workshop with his sister, Yvonne, at her local library in Victoria, Texas. He was intrigued by how simple materials and fabrication techniques were used to create compositions of rich geometric complexity and profound meaning. Color, pattern, rhythm, hierarchy, logic -- the language of quilts is the language of architecture. He was instantly hooked, and he bought his first sewing machine immediately upon returning to New York City.
