This mosaic quilt is representative of the vibrancy, evolution and activity in nature throughout the seasons.

Process

This quilt uses 27 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, and my own digital fabric. Pieces are cut leaving raw edges and then carefully positioned on a whole piece of interfacing to form the mosaic top. The quilt sandwich is the mosaic top, organic acrylic felt and backing cotton fabric. The sandwich is sewn together using cotton thread and then binded with mitered corners.

TEXTILES_Tales-of-Innervision_800w

 
During the past summer-fall months of 2021 and 2022, I’ve worked on my new mosaic textiles  (quilt) series inspired by Stevie Wonder’s album Innervisions. This album represents the 16th studio album in his illustrious career. He played all the instruments on 6 out of the 9 tracks.  Innvervisions covered a range of societal issues such as drugs, racism and inequality.   Similarly this series is called Tales from the Innervision and covers a variety of topics dealing with the realization of Self.
