Interviews & Lectures
In conjunction with my exhibition at the Festival of Quilts, I am thrilled to be giving a lecture on the ‘unconventional and unexpected’ aspects of quilts.
I joined in to talk quilts on ‘Soft Bulk’, an ongoing conversation investigating and celebrating the unique qualities of quilts, including: flexibility, sculpture, softness, and cultural context.
Sharing in the spirit of “One quilt, one person, one video camera, three minutes = another quilt story saved!”
I got to remember finding quilts and discuss quilt history with law professor Elizabeth Townsend Gard.
I was very excited to be invited to speak with Sandi Hazlewood of Crafty Planner, who does a very thoughtful and well curated series of podcasts about the world of textiles.
I got to share what's so "unconventional and unexpected" about the quilts in my collections and the story of how I came to fall in love with quilts.
