THE HARLEM QUILTS
Picture
“The Harlem Quilts” series stems from the idea that quilts were displayed and used as code to mark the escape routes for the Underground Railroad. 
​
​The quilts display two images: The North Star which shines every night above Marcus Garvey Park and which symbolizes hope, and a portrait of a member of the household (pets included) where they will be displayed. The series stems from a project, Art Off-Screen, curated by Eileen Jeng-Lynch (neumeraki.com) that invited artists to expand their usual practice and display art in a manner available for the community during the Covid related quarantine.
