In 2018 I was asked to take part in an exhibition, Responses to Gee's Bend, at Swarthmore College. I created a piece specifically for this exhibit, using old clothing and a quilt pattern loosely based on the unique quilts from this region of the U.S. After this experience I wanted to make more pieces using the loose design methods I had engaged during the Gee's Bend challenge. The resulting quilts incorporate my solar printed fabric along with plain black and white cotton. This is one of them.
