Heritage Patterns
Collage with commercial paint chips
2016–present
“in the unknown world
the woman threading together her need
and her needle
nods toward the smiling girl
remember
this will keep us warm”
The images in this series are based on traditional quilt patterns, made from scraps and passed down from generation to generation. Each collage presents a window with the curtain pulled back. Outside, along the horizon, a small house appears. The collection of patterns includes Nine Patch, Flying Geese, Broken Dishes, Log Cabin, and North Star.
