Blanket Stories: Western Door, Salt Sacks, Three Sisters

A site-specific installation commissioned by the Rockwell Museum, Corning, New York

My blanket is a quilt, lovingly hand sewn by my grandmother (in Pennsylvania), probably in the 1950s. Her beautiful quilts came with my family to New York state and kept my young children warm when we lived in Albany and Rochester. This one is cut up because it became so worn from use that I framed squares of it for each of my children to preserve her memory.
