Everybody Gonna Shine
Everybody Gonna Shine, 54x32, June 2020, commercial and upcycled textiles
Lizzo and George Floyd both call Minneapolis home. This quilt depicts the breath of song offered to those who cannot breathe. It’s our animal impulse to be attracted to things like the sun, the golden ratio and people who look like ourselves but when we consciously decenter these evolutionary tendencies, the sun doesn’t grow any less bright. But room is made for Lizzo to shine, too. And if Lizzo’s going to shine, she says everybody gets to shine. Hand-quilted and started in a workshop hosted by Shruti Dandekar, the tulle overlay honors the tutus of her stage outfits and it is bound in sparkle gold Essex linen.
