Quilting and fabrics connect to a rich history of fem makers. This piece, Time Flies, references work by the hand, and imagination as a form of freedom from bodily limitations. Specifically, the hourglass quilt blocks refer simultaneously and materially to the quilting tradition, to the passage of time, and to the expectations of women's bodies in society. The reflective fabric symbolizes my childhood pool where I experienced a desire to escape from societal expectations. Time Flies addresses aspects of fem existence in culture as a material and temporal reality.
