Piecework Legacies brings together experimental quilted works by seven South Florida fiber artists, each engaging the long history of quilting while expanding what the form can be.
Quilts have been part of American material culture since the eighteenth century, serving both practical and expressive roles. They function as objects of warmth, storytelling and community-building, as well as records of personal experiences.
This exhibition showcases the work of Lauren Baccus, Regina Durante Jestrow, Bex McCharen, Emily Peters, Carrie Sieh, Pangea Kali Virga and Carrington Ware. In these works, the artists present quilts as soft sculptures, multimedia assemblages, pastiches of personal and physical media, meditations and large-scale narratives, among other approaches. Many of the pieces incorporate reused or upcycled materials, continuing quilting’s longstanding relationship with sustainability.
By reimagining traditional materials, scale, techniques and imagery, these artists demonstrate how a centuries-old craft continues to adapt to contemporary realities.
