Hayward gallery shop
quilt commission
The Hayward Gallery Shop commissioned two quilts to sell alongside the Louise Bourgeois exhibition, ‘The Woven Child.’
“The act of sewing is a process of emotional repair”
— Louise bourgois
The compositions of these quilts are inspired by Rebekah’s creative journey as she reflects on memories and the path ahead: risk taking, adventure, the unknown, longing and the comfort and safety of home.
Sustainably sourced natural fibres in muted tones form motifs symbolic of overcoming obstacles. The slow stitched nature of hand-quilting enables a dialogue between the artist’s thoughts, emotions and the emerging work.
