This piece is part of a series titled “Motherhood is Perennial,” in which the artist explores the quilt as an object that provides comfort, similar to the ways a mother does. Saved and mended through generations, quilts transform as they age. As the artist notes, “They keep us warm and comfort us. Utilitarian and functional, they are often overlooked as objects with little value. Yet, throughout time, they are ever present, ever faithful.” Themes of regeneration, pruning, and consistent growth no matter the season are apparent in her vibrant designs, featuring floral motifs representing the mother figures in her life.
