Second in a series of 10; wrapped on wooden canvas; prepared for hanging with sawtooth hanger on back Palimpsest is a series of improvisational quilts made entirely from remnants—fragments left behind by previous works, saved not out of necessity but reverence. In this collection, scraps become sentences, stitched into new narratives while carrying the memory of what came before. The term palimpsest refers to a surface that has been written on, erased, and written over again—its history never fully disappearing. These quilts function the same way. Each piece bears the invisible weight of past intentions: the original quilt it was cut from, the idea it once supported, the color chosen in a different emotional state. This is not erasure, but layering—an act of transformation that honors the past without being bound to it. Rooted in sustainability, Palimpsest challenges the idea of waste, asking instead what is left behind when a project ends—and what becomes possible in that aftermath. The result is a body of work that is both patchwork and palimpsest: imperfect, intuitive, and full of quiet memory.
