The Worms Crawl In…



I wanted to experiment with dimension on this quilt, and see what would happen if things broke the surface and went through the quilt. There are wholes in the quilt that the worms crawl through, you can see this clearly on the back of the quilt.


There are also a few shapes that are stuffed with several layers of batting. My good friend and surface designer Kathy McTee from Austin referred to one of these shapes as a cosmic steak. My worms really resemble nematodes, but that would not have made as nice a name.
