Quilted tapestry, 210 cm x 130 cm, 2024
This piece was exhibited in the group show ♡⑅• Long grass, short life •⑅♡ ‘a recipe for clumping’.
During the 2-week residency, I created a quilted tapestry from donated fabrics by the members of Piccardthof. Depicted are shared memories and garden-inspired imagery. For this work, I diverged from my usual painting practice to embrace textiles and sewing. I visited members of Piccardthof at their garden homes to talk to them about their cherished memories, to connect with them, and to further explore the garden’s meditative role. Displayed on the terrace of the community hub, this work is intended to encourage community engagement and add warmth to the space.
