Description:
Artist Statement: "A childhood discovery of a dusty box in my grandmother's basement led me to the most captivating artwork I had ever seen. Between 1920-1950 my great-grandfather drew over 90 mandala-like drawings using a compass and brown paper bags. I knew these drawings would be source of inspiration for a quilt. The center of this quilt is based on one such drawing, it is coupled with Cherrywood fabrics, Swarovski crystals and over 600 feet of custom cording."
