Bisa Butler

“Bisa Butler inspires me through her use of quilting as portraiture and historical preservation. Her vibrant textile works honor Black life, ancestry, and everyday experience while challenging historical absence within traditional archives. I am particularly inspired by how she uses fabric as both material and narrative, allowing color, pattern, and texture to communicate memory, identity, and emotion.”

“Technicolor quilts that celebrate and archive Black excellence.”

“I want so badly to see one of Bisa Butler’s quilts in person.”
