Quilted Community
- Mixed media assemblage on wood panel
- Lillian Blades
In this mixed-media assemblage 'quilt,' Atlanta-based artist Lillian Blades orchestrates the creative efforts of a broad range of people – children to elders, all from a variety of heritages and backgrounds - into a metaphorical celebration of this vibrant, diverse East Atlanta community. Inspired by Southern quilt-making, this collective art project brings together the contributions of different individuals working with ordinary materials and transforms them into a more significant, dynamic creation. While working for two years on this project, the artist has come to admire the many individuals who work together daily to make East Atlanta a better community, evidenced in this beautiful library and this public art project.
