Jo-Anne Morgan: Fabric Memorials
Jo-Anne Morgan began sewing during the pandemic. Quilting and applique techniques seemed a perfect choice for making art that could offer comfort during trying times. Because quilted comforters are familiar and approachable, the medium is ideal for addressing provocative topics. Despite the unsettling themes, these stitched fabric pictures offer a soothing counterpoint to the harsh events of contemporary reality. The message running throughout this work is 鈥渟eeking comfort in a fraught world.鈥� Art can be a way to process events and experiences that are almost too much to bear.
