Post-Colonial quilt travels back to the origins of colonialism in the U.S.. Created with discarded plastic plants, the quilt explores the origin point of the western world we inhabit today – a world where we attempt to replicate nature while simultaneously destroying her.

Due to the rising intensity of wildfires in the United States, thehoses used to fight these fires are decommissioned because theyno longer meet the required pressure standards. Every year, 1million lbs and 7 thousand miles of these hoses aredecommissioned and become waste. These retired hoses areused to craft this American flag

When making the Post Colonial quilt, my studio floor was filled with plastic plant off-cuts as a result of repeatedly cutting squares. They became the pieces that didn’t fit, discarded on the floor. It made me think about systems and structures the U.S. was built on –– systems in structures that many inherently don’t fit into. This map speaks to the incompleteness and liminality that this county is perched in.
