The absolutely stunning quilting and fabric work of artist Bisa Butler hearkens back to the roots of African American experience, evoking Gullah culture and Gee's Bend quilts. She uses no paint at all in these incredible fabric portraits...just cotton, silk, wool and velvet in quilted and appliqué techniques. The hue and chroma and shading she gets is phenomenal.
