co·a·les·cence
2023

the joining or merging of elements to form one mass or whole.

textiles aren’t transient or purely aesthetic, there is spiritual, practical, sentimental, and craft value in textile. the culmination of these values is the art of quilting, a material technique that uses fabric (often leftover) to create a textile items/art pieces.

this series of quilts are made from personal and communal scrap fabric (friends, peers, and the wider community). this body of work explores colour and blends together my love for painting into my textile practice to make items of high value from unwanted material.
