patched together

In partnership with Access SFUSD and Bethany Center.

This series of four large monochromatic mixed-media quilts, measuring 4’ by 5’ each, show an intergenerational, visual conversation between two creative communities. AccessSFUSD students and educators created the first layer of these quilts by designing and cutting out fabric shapes to express feelings through color and form. Students worked together to arrange the shapes and decide on a freeform composition. Bethany Center participants responded to the students’ fabric shapes by adding a layer of expressive marks and brushstrokes using paint in coordinating colors. Created in partnership with teaching artist Raphael Noz.
