Artist statement: I used a map of London as the structure for this piece. Not only is the overall pattern the map, but the fabric pieces I painted are a smaller scale of the map. I was intrigued by the metaphor of the map in thinking about where am I in my life? Is there a map to help me when I am lost?
Quilt dress is 56" x 35".

The artist chose to make this quilt called "Lost...or Found?" in the shape of a dress, rather than a traditional rectangle or square. What do you think the dress has to do with the theme "Lost...or Found?" and maps?

The artist dyes and paints her own fabrics before constructing her quilts. If you like working with textiles or sewing, perhaps this medium would work for your final project!
