Island in the Sun
(33 x 33 inches)
1999
Detail

Years of living on a sailboat in the Caribbean were the inspiration for this quilt. I also wanted to highlight the African-looking fabric. Most of the figures, including the woman in the center of the quilt, are copies of Matisse's paper cutouts. The whales and the palm tree are adapted from stencils.
