Crush the Patriarchy
Crush The Patriarchy, 62.5x76, June 2018, commercial and upcycled textiles
Inspired by the internet meme launched by @baeveri_, this directive gives me life right now. It names an unrealized but very real personal fear and releases it with laughter. Fat girls are all people marginalized to the point that caring for the well-being of their oppressors becomes habit in order to survive. The quilting motif is free-form scallops to affirm that no one’s curves, of any body type, adhere to the expectation that we should be symmetrical and perfect. They fluctuate in size organically over the length on the quilt. #crushthepatriarchyquilt
