A group I am a member of has decided to put together an exhibit about racism in America called:
Racism: A Dialogue in Art Quilts.
Here is one of the pieces, America Fragmented, I made for the show.
The front
The back
I was inspired by recent events and media coverage of politics in America today.
The original sketch for the piece.
In progress
It took many hours and many small pieces to fill up the spaces to complete the images.
Once the collage part was done I had to figure out how to quilt it.I used old laminator material placed over the piece and a sharpie to play with quilting options.
Here is an example of experimental quilting lines.
This piece is heavely quilted, as you can see from the picture of the back above, and in this close up.
I am the curator for this exhibit and in the process of finding venues for the show across the country.
