Bay Area Sampler Quilt

"'Sampler quilts' are by nature an amalgamation of different patterned blocks, techniques, and experiments created by a quilter. While each block may seem different, they are held together by the container and boundaries of the quilt itself—its top, back, batting, and quilt work. Bay Area Sampler Quilt is my attempt to consider how to make a film like a quilt. Using built-in camera techniques, repetitions through contact printing, dying, and other experiments employed mimic what a quilter might do in assembling their work, this film explores how each frame, like a quilt block, can express a different creative register..."
