Year: 2022

Materials: Fabric collage using multi-colored and patterned cotton fabrics, airbrushing using fabric paints, machine quilted using multi-colored thread.

Dimensions: 27.5" x 30" x .5"

Image Statement: I created this collage using cut fabrics, no underlying photo. Willa’s hair for example is a series of very thin fabric strips layered meticulously atop one another. I used airbrushed fabric paint to enhance the faces of the children. It is machine quilted using various colored threads.
