Every One Has a Different Story
 36.5”H x 43”W

Are all the houses the same?
No. Every one has a different story.

I grew up in Baltimore, a city of row houses. Till elementary school, my family lived in a row house neighborhood like this one. Each house had a small back yard that opened into an alley – the perfect place to find other kids to play with and to ride bikes. This quilt is an affectionate portrait of these lively neighborhoods. As I researched photos of row house neighborhoods, I remembered how block after block of homes looked just alike. But each family had its own story.

The work is created with archival acrylic paints and mediums on fabric. Image-making includes monotype printing, resists, stenciling and direct painting. Windows are digital transfers onto muslin from original photos. Collaged and sewn construction with surface machine stitching for texture. The surface is sealed with a coating of acrylic medium.

Finishing: bound and backed with hand-painted fabric. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation.
