Rags to Ritches

90" X 90"

This piece is constructed from reclaimed Textiles.
I took Clothes and sheets discarded from the people of NY and created this quilt.

The quilt is an image of both Kanye and JAy-z. I used an Image by Troy Gua for the design.

The colors are
White: Sheets
Blue: Jeans
Black: Dress Clothes

It then reads like a rags to riches story.

It has been quilted in metallic thread so that when you are close it shines to speak to its subject matter in a tactile and visual way.

There are 1 million quilting stitches on it. [My machine counted, is the only reason I know]
