stitch aesthetics

studio space



A brief hiatus from the studio work.

I've been working on the written word more these days. Piecing together what I call "stitch aesthetics" or "stitch theory"


It takes it's structure from the quilted hand stitch and its metaphors.

all about the process of creating meaning and experience within the act of quilting.

a poetics really; all quilts are texts and in the realm of discourse.

the carrying capacity of the quilt stitch is really that great.

nothing against the machine- it is simply a different thing.
