New work in my hometown for the fall season! Officially it is open today ✨☀️🍁 I’ll be there at 2pm to speak and share about this project @aspenideaseconomy @aspeninstitute 
@guthriegreen @experience.tulsa 

Rachel Hayes’s City Jewel comprises two sewn textile panels, each 30 by 40 feet, installed on either side of the stage at Guthrie Green. Hayes builds both compositions using the log cabin quilting technique — a pattern that begins at a center point and is built outward, strip by strip, radiating in bands of color — rendered here in saturated jewel tones that catch and diffuse Tulsa’s light. Log cabin quilting is a significant symbol of American heritage, representing the power of the American pioneer spirit, and reflects deep historic connections to Tulsa. The two panels also frame the city itself: downtown Tulsa remains visible through and behind the work, so the skyline becomes part of the composition. The panels extend a technique Hayes developed for a recent installation for the City of Aspen, translated to the scale and civic character of Guthrie Green. City Jewel is presented in partnership with Aspen Ideas: Economy held here in The Tulsa Arts District, October 13 – 15, 2026.  As Aspen Ideas: Economy brings inquiry into place, prosperity, and community to Tulsa, Hayes’s patchwork offers a visual counterpart: a pattern built, like a city, from a shared center outward.
