❤✊🏿🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #MorningMantra #Artist Phyllis Stephens | @little_shepard_girl I Will Change The World Quilt with Sustainable Fabric, 60 x 36 in., 2019 Catalog: [email protected] Reposted from @richardbeaversgallery 🔴 . . Most often changes for the betterment of mankind, are ignited by the will of one person; who fuel many. One person can make a difference... “Be the Change” - Phyllis Stephens ... . Fabric Choices for “I Will Change the World” All of the fabrics in this quilt are 100% High Quality Cotton. Occasionally I have the opportunity to have a fabric designer/houses design specifically [sic] me. . The background - is designed by watercolorist and fabric artist Denise Burkitt. Denise lives in Australia and had promised if I came to visit, she would create a fabric with and for me. About three years ago, I travelled to Australia, and as promised we created a few pieces of fabric together. The background in “I Will Change the World” is one of those fabrics. . However, what I am truly proud of are the other cottons in this quilt. They are from Latifah Saafir Studios | @latifahsaafirstudios, a small black female owned fabric house; which I am honored to do business with. Her fabric line is very high quality and needless to say exceptional.  Because of what this quilt says, stands for, I thought it was imperative I use fabrics from Latifah’s line. - Phyllis Stephens . #PhyllisStephens #AfricanAmericanArt #quilting #textileart #RichardBeaversGallery #BlackArt #BlackArtists #BlackGalleries #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon #BlackGirlArtGeeks🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfy8eEgzhl/?igshid=1bh43uqgo3tx5

Phyllis Stephens (b.1955) lives and works in Atlanta, GA and is represented by Richard Beavers Gallery and Almine Rech. Genesis Tramaine (b. 1983) lives and works in Newark, NJ and is represented by Almine Rech. … “I start every single quilt with a prayer”. Prayer is what fuels my inspiration.” “I am also sensitive to my surroundings as well as the current environment and culture; however, I always take care to add or include the past. I want to honor the things, people, events, places, and circumstances that shaped the life I get to live freely. I like to remember the sacrifices that were made for me. The most exciting aspect of quilt making is that it is a true learning experience—one that is forever changing. The process changes; it is invented, then re-invented, over and over again. I am most grateful because my life is a very beautiful artistic journey. This thing I refer to as “Story Quilt Making” has been an amazing, adventorious and wonderful ride.”’- Phyllis Stephens … #RichardBeaversGallery #AlmineRechGallery #PhyllisStephens #TheArmoryShow #BlackArtists #BlackGallerists #BlackArtLovers #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CTps6NcPIFp/?utm_medium=tumblr
