This quilt represents my interest in using textiles as a visual storytelling tool. I often explore history and combine my hand dyed fabrics with solid cotton to creating intricate, complex abstract work. Using the traditional drunkards path block, I choose color and shape to create a sense of movement in this work. Many of my quilts are meant to honor a person or movement throughout history. The Black Jacobins, a book by historian C.L.R James is about the brutal African experience in Haiti and the ensuing Revolution of 1791.
