God I love gingham. When I had 3 ginghams in 3 different sizes? Heaven.

This quilt was an exploration of curved shapes, cutting away excess to reveal the layers underneath. I wanted it to feel like you were seeing into something – down into the depths – the different size squares indicating distance or thickness.

The resulting image is graphic and geometric, reminiscent of cellular division or topographical maps. By keeping the colors and patterns relatively uniform, I was able to create very “loud” patterns without them becoming overly garish.
