Living Quilt for Sojourner Truth installed on Nov. 21, 2020

Seeds are sprouting already in my most recent “living quilt” public art installation in Sacramento at Sojourner Truth Community Garden in Sacramento, CA. “Living Quilt for Sojourner Truth” has seeds for wildflowers in the same colors and pattern as the handmade paper quilt, and it is transforming into a living blooming bed of wildflowers.

This photo was taken by Bill Maynard on January 4, 2021, and the “quilt” is turning green as the wildflower seedlings begin to grow. I will continue to post photos of this art installation as it changes over time, and we hope to see a blooming wildflower bed sometime in late March 2021.

This art project was part of the City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts & Culture 2020 Artist-in-Residency Program, and previous posts on this Blog give more information and more photos about the creation and installation.
