Trapped -Art Installation by Jackie Partridge

Trapped is an art installation from 2016 by Jackie Partridge that I completed during my MFA. In this installation I hand dyed and hand embroidered dishcloths and sewed them together as a large quilt. I want the quilt to be seen as an aerial view of farmlands. 

Above the quilt drapes a large sewn thread installation -made from white thread. The sewn piece is stitched on a dissolvable surface. The sewn structure mimics that shape of my hometown as viewed from a map and inside the shape are rows and rows of a basic symbol of a house shape.
