'New Quilt' is a series of contemporary textile works that reimagine traditional quilting as a space for emotional expression and material exploration. These pieces blend precision and spontaneity, order and chaos—reflecting the complex layers of the inner self.
The first work plays with contrasts: digital embroidery, carefully programmed and executed, intersects with unruly layers of fabric and loose threads. This dynamic composition highlights the beauty in imperfection, suggesting that clarity and meaning often emerge from disorder. The piece invites viewers to embrace the unpredictable, the tangled, and the raw as essential parts of the creative and emotional process.
In the second piece, the quilt form is more structured but still expressive. Various fabrics are stitched together, and the digital embroidery serves as a subtle framework—dividing the surface into sections with the words “inhale” and “exhale.” These repeated prompts act as gentle anchors, guiding the viewer toward mindfulness and bodily awareness. The embroidered words are rendered in a custom typeface based on the artist’s own handwriting, adding a layer of intimacy and personal rhythm.
Together, the works in 'New Quilt' transform the language of traditional textile craft into a meditation on breath, balance, and the beauty found in both structure and surrender.
