Description:

Artist Statement: "Stuck in a design rut, I decided to explore how far I could push the clamshell shape. Pulling, stretching, adding rows and stripes, putting them upside down: is it still a clamshell?! Well I don't know the answer, but I do know that the result was a joyful and vibrant quilt. It taught me that on the other side of struggle and doubt there can be something special waiting if you just keep going."
