The thin pieced lines that fracture my quilts represent the fragile bonds that keep our physical and social world together; how much longer can they hold? Many of the quilts are named for things we cannot control or things we have allowed to get out of control: infrastructure, environment, our democracy and social contract. Some are titled “Fault Lines,” after the shifting of unstable earth; some are titled “Crazed,” after the pattern seen in the deteriorating glaze of old china (and the apparent mindset of the people in charge).
My quilts aren’t all square, but website thumbnails are! Click on the photos to see what the whole quilt looks like.
