Sequoia Barnes - Study the Demon - a placeholder

This is a placeholder. It is a placeholder for my current and upcoming frustration.
This quilt I am making is in one part a thank you, an offering to the mothers of Gee’s Bend.
I had taken Edwin Morgan’s words from ‘A Little Catechism from the Demon’ and created a text
that made the existential frustration of the poem and the absurdity of asking questions only to
receive more riddles in return more overt and haptic imposing into one’s personal space
through the seemingly tactile banality of textiles and the intimacy of embroidery. This constant
flux between frustration, absurdity, and the anxiety all around it has been here with me in the
making of the quilt and its embroidery of my created text.
