ARTIST STATEMENT

This is my quarantine quilt. When the world shut down in mid-March 2020, I escaped into a barely begun quilt, relying on the design strategies that are the heartbeats of my quilts—symmetry and serendipity laced with abundant color and pattern—to lead me, however long it took, to a happy ending. The image loosely references the mirror system of a Scalene triangle, meaning the triangle has no equal sides and no equal angles. This creates an image that is fragmented and not reflected perfectly.
