Ice-dyed cotton, oil stick on hand-dyed cotton, silk brocade, dutch wax cotton. 46"w x 51"h
Using hand dyed, painted, commercial fabrics my quilts are rooted in explorations of my personal, spiritual and cultural identity. Additionally, I freehand cut the textiles in order that the quilts maintain the quality of coming from the hand. Improvisation guides my inspiration through textiles and mixed media. This quilt is an exploration of the shared culture of the African Diaspora.
