More about Missing Memories: Quilts in Clay -
This exploration of memory and craft developed from my early love of pattern, craft and fabrics introduced to me by my mother. She gave me a love for pattern, color and fine craft, teaching me to needlepoint and quilt. Inspired by the Cathedral Window quilt pattern which was a favorite of hers, the porcelain squares are textured and delicately folded to “quilt” the clay. Working with the fragile porcelain squares woven with wire, suspended in a frame, or mounted on a slab brings a reminder that memories can be fragile and elusive but durable representations can be treasured.
