31" Wide x 29" High
Quilter | Tricia Deck
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This block was embroidered by a survivor of gender-based violence in the African Country of Mali. It describes life in her village before she was attacked and expelled during conflict.
The block was made into a quilt in 2019 by Tricia Deck in Massachusetts. For Tricia, quilting is part of a larger creative process that includes photography
and screen printing. It all comes together in her quilts and she looked on Sister Artists as an opportunity to experiment with new approaches.
Tricia has made quilts for fund-raising and was drawn to Sister Artists because she wanted to help. She says of her Malian sister: “I can’t imagine what she’s going through and how her life compares to mine.” Tricia was also struck by the fact that some of the women in Mali walked several hours to attend embroidery training.
Tricia’s main aim was to embellish the original block although she did not feel the need to sharpen the colors, which she found to be very “distinctive.” She pieced the borders and added them to the central block.
All proceeds from this auction will be invested in a quilting project for GBV survivors in Mali. To donate visit our home page - www.advocacynet.org.
