Pattern pieces for a quilt coat. I’m experimenting with exposing the seams in various ways. Making it feels like a mix of painting, drawing and quilting.

"Art can’t forcibly induce a change in behaviour. It’s not a re-education pill. Empathy is not something that happens to us when we read War and Peace. It’s work, for which art can, however, provide us with radiant materials."
