Context

Julia Pfaff made this contemporary quilt in 1993. Splitting her time between artistic pursuits and archaeological ones, Pfaff's quilt shows the influence of her time at archaeological digs in the Middle East. Pfaff graduated from Toronto University and went on to get her Masters in Art History at Virginia Commonwealth University. This quilt incorporates various printing techniques like lithography, etching, and silk screening. By working with archaeological subjects, Pfaff believes she can convey universal themes "drawn from the realm of collective experience".
