SEPARATION ANXIETY
Inspiration
One cannot be left unaffected by lockdown. I wanted to make a piece that shows how our lives have become separate and divided. In normal times, our families might be represented by large blocks of colour. The quilt has small areas of colour representing how we have been separated by the virus, each isolated by black thread. The inserts represent the social distancing lines that keep us from getting too close. I used bright colours as our families and friends brighten our lives. The black thread is untidy, as is my present frame of mind.
Materials and techniques
Commercial fabric, cut and pieced using Fibonacci sequence. Pieced fabric was then recut and inserts added. Hobbs Tuscany wool wadding and a woven cotton backing. Free motion quilted using Isacord, black 40wt around each colour segment. Superior invisible thread used to quilt inserts.
