All of Bisa Butler’s (@bisabutler) large-scale appliqué artworks are made up of tiny pieces of fabric — cut, sewn and quilted on a long arm sewing machine.⁣ ⁣ “My work celebrates the African American tradition of quilting and portrays the beauty, strength, pride and dignity of Black people. I am inviting a re-imagining and a contemporary dialogue about age-old issues, still problematic in our culture, through the comforting, embracing medium of the quilt.⁣ ⁣ I am telling the story of ordinary people — Black people — whose stories have been deliberately ignored, misconstrued or outright denied.⁣ ⁣ My subjects stand in defiance against racist stereotypes and show African Americans as people who value family, community, education and hard work.⁣ ⁣ I hope people view my work and see the expressions of joy, the vibrancy of colors and the quiet dignity of my portraits. I am expressing what I believe is the equal value of all humans. I hope when people see my work they can see a reflection of themselves and come to terms with the truth of the matter — all people are created equal.”⁣ ⁣ #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Art by @bisabutler」10月13日 1時09分
