Cloud Quilt

These monumental videos pull imagery from 15 years worth of the artist’s archival material to create the Cloud Quilt. The work Saya Woolfalk makes often emerges out of a collage process where disparate materials are forced into the same space to create a hybrid space. Saya wants to build visionary spaces that stimulate the imagination and immerse us in the logic and language of another place. Cloud Quilt incorporates imagery of medicinal plants, from astrology, mandalas, as well as variations on ceramic ware from around the world. To create this sacred liminal space filled with texture, color and imagery photographs of real objects are combined with digitally scanned drawings and paintings, hand painted paper, as well as objects the artist makes in the studio. The work incorporates analogue and digital materials, blending them together to create an immersive unified space.
