Description:
Artist Statement: “Our high school friend group still looms large for me, both in real life and in my memories. Two have passed away, so they are depicted as slightly going off the quilt on either side. One was so consumed by smoke as a teenager that he is depicted merely as a puff of smoke. The others will have to guess who they are!”
