Underlay, 2024
Dimensions variable, 53x 4′ hexagonal quilt blocks (~12’x65′ when installed in one piece)
Vapour barrier, roofing underlay, tuck tape, brass grommets, releasable zip-ties, pop rivets, spray paint.
This large-scale outdoor modular quilt explores gender-queerness, domestic product (quilts), and architectural space through quilt-architectural forms. The work creates space through public installation for gender diversity and beyond binaries creative expression through architecture and quilted forms.
