Exhibition
Modern Crossing [Quilt]
2025
Overview
Quilt selected for a three year traveling exhibition for the American Quilt Study Group Biennial Quilt Study. Double-blind juried competition. 62.5% international acceptance rate.
Inspired by Nancy Crow’s 1976 Crosses, my quilt reinterprets her early asymmetrical Log Cabin design using modern techniques. I drew color gradations from Oregon’s landscape and used strip piecing and matchstick quilting to emphasize form. This work honors Crow’s traditional roots while exploring scale, symmetry, and contemporary quilting aesthetics.
