A piece of fabric I obtained in the 80s, but was probably purchased in Germany in the 70s. I have held on to it because it is so intriguing Used it make a couple of face masks. #facemask #fabricinspired #color #colorinspiration #knittingdesigner #whatisthatcolor #lightandshadow #printedfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/B_095HFpnQg/?igshid=1ckxn5cttkhia

I'm continuing this piece that I started late last summer/early fall during my residency at Snug Harbor. My goal is to mimic African Georges, and to reflect on the times I had assisted my mom when she worked with the actual fabrics. I'm using some of the beads she removed in order to sew through them. #ifychiejina #blackartist #nigerianamerican #visualart #workinprogress #fabricinspired #reflections
