“Piecework”
\nat Pavel Zoubok Gallery in New York City
\n1 March-21 April 2018<\/h2>\n

“Piecework” is a group exhibition featuring quilt-like collages by Vanessa German, Joe Lewis, Diane Samuels, Donna Sharrett and Stephen Sollins. Often adapting traditional techniques, the exhibition showcases works inspired by the history of quilt making. By using unexpected materials and addressing social and political realities, these works go beyond the canon, dissolving the line between art and craft and re-centreing the quilt as a symbol of American culture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a new series, “A Tailored Herbaria of At-Risk Forest Denizens”, Donna Sharrett<\/strong> collects fallen leaves to record the existence of trees imperiled by accelerated temperature, rainfall shifts, disease, insect introductions and landscaping trends. The resulting objects of sewn and quilted leaves are arranged to illuminate the uniqueness of each leaf and indicated with the tree\u2019s GPS location. Similarly intricate is Diane Samuels<\/strong>‘ Poetry Quilt<\/em>, a personal anthology of the artist\u2019s favorite poems, precisely 198 of them, hand-transcribed in micro-script on collaged strips of painted paper. Delia Quilts<\/em> by Vanessa German<\/strong> pays homage to the artist\u2019s mother, a fibre artist, and to Delia, an African slave whose daguerreotype was taken in 1850 in Columbia, South Carolina. Her haunting image emerges from the tops of old quilts like a defiant, proud spirit. In a multi-part series of paper sculptures (three of which are on view), Stephen Sollins<\/strong> studies the odd shapes that make up a 19th century \u201ccrazy quilt\u201d in the collection of the American Folk Art Museum. Part homage and part representation, these unusual quilts, made from envelopes and Tyvek, isolate each shape in a series of shifting arrangements. Joe Lewis<\/strong>\u2019 Juvenile Body Bags<\/em> made from Kente cloth, a royal and sacred West African woven textile, confronts the violence against black bodies\/lives head on. Lewis writes that after death, no matter the circumstances, we should \u201cwrap our loved ones in the cloth of Kings as they set out on their next journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
