Background

21/03/2006 - Made in the year following the breaking of the levees in New Orleans. I began working with fabric scraps, layering and quilting them because I no longer had access to my usual methods of art production, and because they could fit in a pocket and go with me during that displaced and confusing time. By the time this piece was made, the scraps and ragtags of fabric were conecting to form larger, more considered pieces, and I also began making and incorporating porcelain and other mixed media elements into them..
