This contemporary quilt is created on a foundation of white fabric, which serves as a canvas for bold black paint. The artist uses the painted surface to explore both figurative and abstract imagery, incorporating faces, human forms, and dynamic abstract patterns. The quilt is constructed by collaging individual pieces of painted fabric together, each fragment contributing to a larger, cohesive composition. Once the pieces are assembled, the quilt is stitched and quilted, adding texture and structure while enhancing the interplay between the painted design and the fabric's tactile qualities. The combination of painted imagery and traditional quilting techniques creates a visually striking piece that blurs the line between fine art and textile craft, inviting viewers to engage with both the narrative and the materiality of the work.
