Other (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art , 1999)
Combining inherited family skills of quilting and carpentry, Los Angeles-based artist Troy Murrah uses thousands of wood fragments, cut from leftover remnants, to construct elaborate wall hangings that replicate traditional quilt patterns. Take a closer look, and find motifs—illustrated and designed by the artist using imagery influenced by his past. His hope is to uphold tradition and craft by refreshing them, while teaching the importance of craft and the skills used to make things with your hands that can be functional, decorative, and meaningful.
