The Quilts
an ongoing collection of mixed media collages
This ongoing studio practice involves playing with material and print: ordering a curation of found scraps into abstract gridworks; flat-ish assemblages that I call quilts. The juxtaposing elements are then adhered into one assemblage using stitches of thread, tape, or staples. Each quilt is informed by the material input, and is in turn a response to the contemporary and aged culture that the varied collage elements are drawn from. They are texturally rich and colorful, and act as both final pieces and warm-ups for other practices.
