This piece features a Point & Feather quilt block pattern. Made from reclaimed materials including aluminum, bamboo flooring, pine, oak, particle board (taken from discarded Ikea shelving), engineered wood floorboards, wood taken from 1930s cabinetry, wood taken from a 1930s piano, and gold peel baseboard. Hand wood-burned pyrography around the border, featuring a vintage quilt pattern based on the Wild Goose Chase pattern. Quilts have long been a part of the domestic setting and a reminder of the comforts of home. Similar to the resourceful piecing together of rags and thrown-out fabric remnants, the artist glues and nails together pieces of construction material he has cut himself from discarded furniture and jobsite remains. Starting with a sketch of the imagined quilt design, he then formulates a “cut list”. Sourcing materials of various colors from his “stash” and sometimes painting or staining them before cutting, he then lays out the shapes to form the quilt patterns that have been found in quilts for centuries. Drawing from themes related to the everyday life at home to his own unconventional experiences, he uses various methods to engrave his illustrations and pattern designs on to the pieces.
