Piecework Legacies brings together experimental quilted works by seven South Florida fiber artists, each interpreting quilting in their own way. Quilts have been part of American material culture since the eighteenth century, functioning both as practical objects for warmth and as artistic forms used for storytelling, decoration, community building, discreet communication, and the preservation of tradition. This exhibition brings together quilts by contemporary artists that acknowledge this history while imagining new iterations and potentialities for the medium.
