Quilting offers a rich way to think not just about the media of textile, but as a form of material and human relation. An attention to discarded, overlooked, or non-functional material is an ethos of quilting, opening up a radical possibility of continual transmutation. Quilts tend to our lived, embodied experiences: comforting our bodies, taking shape of our surroundings. Through assemblage of material and with a curiosity of surface, I expand quilting as a methodology–working with textile and other found material. I use these formal aesthetics to consider larger social questions of how the body exists in space, and to explore the means by which we craft our sense of home.
