these quilts were one of two series (or at least the begining of a series) that I showed as my final project for the art quilt class. I forgot to take pictures of them during the critique. I will post the other series; its called “blankets for the american people during terror”; as soon as I find a place in my house to hang them. it sort of takes up a lot of space.
this is a jacket I made. it was the first time i have ever made something like this. Its a bit too small for me so I will be gifting it to my mother in-law. I cant wait to make another one.

I really am impressed with this quilt series. It’s definitely hard to view since the content is really dark. But I’m really compelled by the juxtaposition of the images with the medium. Quilts generally represent something warm and comforting and sentimental and to quilt images that depict people who have undergone having all of those comforts stripped away from them is powerful. It sort of turns your initial idea of what a quilt is on it’s head.
Aside from that, I’m really impressed with how you are really playing with new techniques and concepts. You always keep me motivated and inspired!
