“Outside, Looking In” is an art quilt exhibit that I created to increase mental health awareness in our community. The idea for this project arose from conversations on creative wellbeing and the art quilt process that I utilize and teach to others. Many of my quilts remind me of my clients' stories as I sort through my thoughts while sewing for self-care. The installation includes personally constructed art quilts (modern improv, machine-pieced, and mostly hand-quilted) along with a connected mental health diagnosis and educational information. Additional quilts will be displayed connecting how the past lives on with us and creates our sense of self. *These are not traditional quilts.*
