"These artworks in the "Paper Quilts" ongoing body of works speak to the collection of information via historical, regional, geographical, cultural, ancestral and experiential connections. I am a huge proponent of nothing being discarded from people deemed not worthy to items that are used, or old. I am highly inspired by the Gee's Bend Quilters who have made beautifully styled quilts that warm and sustain generations. The idea of using discarded things to recount the history of a place, and of a myriad of stories about culture, the state of the world, the migration of a thing or of the people all pieced together in a creation...is what I attempt to create in this body of work. These pieces are a combination of quilting elements found in the internationally recognized Gee's Bend quilting stylings, combined with horizontally situated loose landscapes designed to provide the understanding of geographical placements or travel. The process is more pre-planned than my other collage works. The sketching of the composition of the quilt layout and the landscaping is intuitive, layered, dried and layered again with more paper and paint."
