The Nine Patch is a traditional quilt design, offering the maker infinite flexibility within a clear structure. This piece is composed from a series of monoprints, using threads as both stencils and plates. The prints were cut and pieced into a nine patch arrangement. The installation further references the traditional quilt structure as the nine patches are separated by a two inch border, or “sashing” which in this case is supplied by the gallery wall.
