This quilt began with a vintage tablecloth, printed with flowers, bees, and a chainlink fence. Inspired by African American quilting traditions, I improvisationally pieced the quilt. This approach creates a sense of rhythm in the work. The hand quilting was done in a checkerboard grid in green cotton. Inspired by the Japanese sashiko stitch, I employ thicker thread for a highly visible quilted line. My signature is embroidered on the back, which consists of tan linen, and a strip of yellow and flowers at the base. The front is 3 shades of gray, and yellow. Fabrics are linen, or a linen/rayon blend.

In my work, I create a scaffolding of fabric, piecing, and quilting that allows me to reference many ideas on a single plane. The raw materials are textiles from domestic culture, fashion, family heirlooms, and scavenged prints. I integrate them with fabrics that I have embroidered, stained, dyed, or designed. This cloth is then beset with hand stitches, evocative of the slow process involved in construction. When composing a quilt I rarely adhere to a set pattern, relying instead on improvisation. Remindful of color field painting, I begin my work with a feeling, place, or theme. Looking to reconstruct my world, I employ aerial views, photographic documentation, and artifacts- all the while aware that my goal is far more complex than the visual of a single point in time. The moments I choose to replicate are unique to me, and simultaneously innumerable in the lives of others. Like so many women before her, my maternal grandmother planned a collaborative quilt to celebrate my birth, and introduced me to the art of quilting. My work continues a family tradition, but congruently incorporates new information from varied quilting traditions, and my multidisciplinary training in art. Often inspired by painters, I feel an artistic connection with Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, Mark Bradford, Julie Mehretu, Cy Twombly, Agnes Martin, Wiliam Kentridge, El Anatsui, Do Ho Suh, the quilts of Gee’s Bend, and the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi.
