Quilt

This quilt was made between 1999-2000 while I was living in the South. . . in order to discover my African-American cultural roots (something that is not possible to do growing up in the Pacific Northwest).  I was pleased to see quilts exhibited in the African-American museums and decided to do a different interpretation of a quilt.  This is one of four versions. –Artist statement
 
Marita Dingus uses discarded materials, recycling them into works of art.  Her subjects are also recycled in that they are updated versions of histories both cultural and personal.
