White Lightening • Flag. a wall quilt

The themes I explore in my work always circle back to exploring some sort of tension: Hold/release, accept/reject, binary/non-binary, strength/vulnerability. I appreciate the medium of quilts as a soft entry into potentially hard conversations about loaded topics and use my social collaborations to facilitate some of those opportunities. In this project, the jagged stripes and the high contrast colors of the flag are a nod to our current political atmosphere and resulting mood of our people as a nation.
