PATCHWORK
2023-2024
currently developing body of work
This evolving body of work began when I rediscovered a quilt made by my great-grandmother; though she may not have thought of herself as an artist, her work speaks in the language of line and pattern, as mine does today. In this new body of work, I strive to speak back to her - to draw a connection, literally and figuratively, between Big Mama’s work and my own, and between my ancestors and myself.
This quilt has become a tangible touchpoint between myself and those who came before me; a portal to both past and future. This work represents the intergenerational conversation that has emerged from this extraordinary family artifact.
