Final weekend for Lone star! A gorgeous day to get out and see art. Nancy Anne McPhee’s enormous artwork on view Friday 5-9 & Saturday 12-5
In Lone Star, the traditional Lone Star quilting pattern is created using thrifted, handmade quilts—stitched by hand and/or machine—as oversized patchwork pieces. The resulting work is oversized and unwieldy, moving the quilt beyond function and into soft sculpture. This reflects contemporary quilting practices, which often diverge between functional objects (craft) and quilts made for display (art).

This work extends my exploration of historical textiles and ideas of home, comfort, and rest. Intentionally working at the intersection of craft and art, my pieces build upon, scale up, and recreate textile works that have often been anonymously created by women makers and artists. This is a deliberately unsteady position, seeking to be both forward-thinking and rooted in traditional making. #seemycity #lastweekend #enormous #hamilton #artistofinstagram by @the.assemblygallery
