2018 - 2019

Plant-dyed and mineral modified second hand fabric, thread, batting

Using the traditional courthouse steps pattern I wanted to create a piece that used all my plant dyed second hand fabric but particularly ones saddened with iron, which gives it that overall earthy tone. The eye is a two way window that takes in but also looks out. I imagine the 9 eyes representing a family/community of eyes looking out for each other.

During the summer of 2020 I raffled this quilt on Instagram, raising $5,000 that was distributed to various organizations that support Black Lives Matter.
