Artist CommentaryLabel
This piece originally began due to finding a self portrait the artist created at age 5. She decided to revisit this picture and create a stamp from it. That same week she overheard a woman's husband referring to his wife's art projects as something that 'keeps her busy'. This irritated the artist (because to her quilting is much more than a time filling activity) and she decided to include this as part of the theme for the quilt. Much of quilting is processing events stitch by stitch. The artist quilts to process her own life's events and rage that come from them and the way women are often perceived and treated. It's an interesting mash up of stages of life and somewhat of a diary quilt, if you will!Label Type
