When the world was struck by COVID-19 in 2020, I began a ten-year completion process that began producing fourteen flags, a kimono, a quilt, and a book that visually pieced together my historical process. The textiles I gathered were the leftover silks on hand. Most, my parents brought me from travels, difficult to use, but significantContinue reading “Dayenu: The Flags”
