Paper Quilts
Original fine art
Stitched with thread, solidly joined, these paper quilts bring together the past and future, attached firmly at the seams. Stitching, collaging, and layering in this work unifies discarded aspects of life, pieces of domestic space, and non-traditional portraits, both real and imagined. The work is fragmented, broken, and mended.
