materials: mom’s recurring dream. fabric strips cut from my grandparent’s old sleeping bags––my father’s parents––which laid in the back of my silver ‘85 toyota pickup for years, the upside sun-bleached and the downside protected. fabric cut with dull scissors while packing to move to cairo. quilt-back stitched on machine and hung in the mattox for months. indigo dye scavenged by fen from the art & ecology closet and elderberry dye made with a mordant of rusted nails. red patterned, moth-bitten wool pendleton blanket given by my mom when she moved back to malaysia and repurposed as batting. a birthday wish for the year to be boring. thousands of stitches by hand. the decline of western civilization parts I, II, and III, and many other documentaries, movies, trashy tv, and copious amounts of music.
