My quilt series - Generative Threads - integrates algorithmic code with quilting to examine identity’s cyclical evolution. Through shifting colour and geometric pattern, the work reflects states of visibility, erasure and personal expansion.
#genart 13 years of quilting + code. 🖤

It takes Processing about 2 seconds to render this design and it takes me approximately FOREVER to sew it. This is 10/13 (but I’m not doing them in order so I have 7 more to go. 😭) #genart #generativeart

I only photograph quilts on the windiest days.
Generative Threads Quilt 13/13. Designed with 13 year old code and handmade with love. 🖤
Credit where credit is due: my Processing + Hype framework started as a collab w/ Joshua Davis. Forever grateful.

Facing a quilt with gold fabric. On a scale of 1 - 10, How fun will it be to hand-stitch through the pigment? ☠️

I’ve quietly been working on 13 Quilts. All designed by original generative code I began using 13 years ago in collab with @praystation.
I’ve always loved that the computer is like, “Surprise! Here’s some crazy shit I came up with. Now figure out how to make it real.”
Exhibit in France this Fall.

I finished the top of Quilt 13 for my Generative Threads project. Only twelve more to go. Used the original #Processing code from 2012 to render the series. #genart #generativetextiles

The top for Number 13 of 13 generative quilts, designed with #Processing code from 2012, is almost complete! 😅 Downside… I’m working backwards so I still have 12 quilts to go. 😂

Are people setting up Flashes? And, if so, are you really setting up a dedicated account? I’m trying to decide how to proceed…because social media is exhausting and I need efficiency.

I started sewing a repurposed garment yesterday out of these Warhol x Levi’s that never fit me right. But today I’ve decided to leave the project until after QuiltCon. I just want to spend time with my family and not feel the pressure to show up in AZ with ‘all the things’.

I think I cried at least once every day this week. But I also laughed so, yeah. Keep going. 🖤

This weekend I sewed up a giant block sample for my Mega Pineapple workshop at QuiltCon and I maybe 🤞fixed my dishwasher.
Fabrics here are from my Glaze II and Iconic collections.
