Artist's Statement:

Making a piece based on someone else's quilt is just not the way I work so I decided to approach the "inspired by" theme from a different direction. Rather than taking inspiration from the imagery and pattern I took my inspiration from the materials – specifically the use of zippers in Jamie Fingal's "Metal Measures" quilt. I used zippers to make the flowers around the border and to outline the vases.
