It’s the last day of my exhibition and I’m feeling some type of way. Thanks to old and new friends that made it here—you’ve given me the gift of dialogue. My relationship with cloth is still as complex as ever and it takes the perspective of an audience other than myself to help understand the why’s and how’s—so thank you! 🚩 Los Angeles: get here before 6pm today to see it before it’s gone! 🚩 New York: I will be showing a quilt alongside an out of this world group of artists part of @pieceworkcollective. Check my profile for dates and location. ✌🏽 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhGNMTBjpA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tpkzy1c5kfaq

You were my introduction to quilting four years ago. Can’t say why I’ve finished you the way I have, or why it took this long to get you here, but such is life Tied Not Bound cotton, chiffon 65 x 85” 2014 - 2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZOJB6DaT_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17qdz7t95gjv7

Afterschool Cotton, chalk 61 x 78” 2018 what do you know, my second black and white quilt. this is what i like to speculate about this one. it may be drawing reference to education for me. using the cloth as a kind of blackboard. with marks not unlike those made during daydreams or detachment. a grade school changeover—one was filling in holes the other left in its absence. when transitions cannot materialize seamlessly. #pedazosquilts https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUP3EZBrjk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11vfr2y2v3ooc

No. 13 of 13 quilts the Pedazos Exhibition. Untitled Cotton, 39 x 59”, 2018 The yellow and green were meant to be individual mini quilts. But they were begging to be joined. Through the white panel, there are loose threads embedded between its layers. I’ve always loved seeing these little threads that by mistake are left along, uncut. Little veins running through the cloth. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPOeelB6y6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2updi8ul21iu
