Kirigami #2: Chevrons

I love the color, feel, and texture of quilted fabric, but am constantly drawn to pull it into the third dimension, to add shape and form to its other qualities. When applied to quilts, the regular crisp cuts and folds of the traditional Japanese art of kirigami provide a way to do this; to sculpt fabric while preserving the repeating geometry and secondary patterns reminiscent of traditional quilt blocks.

2020, 31” x 18” x 5”, $500
