Quilters Catching up on Gossip, 2000
Ink, paint and dyes on rag cloth
30 in x 48 1⁄4 in
Private Collection
This is how people lived in one room in the Blackberry Patch. This painting took a long time because I used just a little, fine brush- a black ink brush- and kind of carved it out on cloth. I used a lot of dyes and some ink. The cloth was a piece of rag that I ironed out. The women are cutting up scraps for a quilt, spinning, dyeing material, and catching up on gossip.
