2023, (enamel on steel, set in resin, 31x37”)
We still live in a time when much of women’s work and creative expression is undervalued. Why is quilt-making considered a craft rather than an art? Quilts carry family stories, embody generational knowledge, and demand extraordinary time, precision, and design. Full Metal Quilt comprises 196 squares of enamel-painted steel stitched together with brass thread. By merging quilting—a traditionally feminine practice—with metalwork—a traditionally masculine one—this piece invites reflection on how we define and value “craft” versus “art.” (FS)
