Down, down baby

This is a quilted textile artwork inspired by the 1956 photograph 'Girls Playing in Water' by Gordon Parks, portraying two young Black girls in the segregated South. Bisa Butler’s quilted and appliquéd work is made of multiple layers of cotton, silk, vinyl, velvet and lace, creating a vibrant 3D effect.
