This contemporary art quilt employs a mixed-media approach to fabric manipulation and design. The artist begins by dyeing and discharging fabric, using a process that removes or alters color to create texture and depth. The fabric is then intentionally distressed—ripped, torn, and fragmented—before being reassembled to form a cohesive composition. The seams are stitched together using a variety of techniques, blending traditional quilting with a modern, deconstructed aesthetic.
