Description:
Artist Statement: "Inspired by the textile design of Niina Aalto, this quilt began with a piece of fabric from a pillowcase to test my skills at insetting and piecing unusual shapes. The technique worked and more and more colors and shapes were drawn nested near their pieced neighbors. The seed stitching used to give depth follows large scale curves and arches into the negative space and all the way into the binding."
