Outside Chokoloskee by Aiyana Paterson-Zinkand

Outside Chokoloskee is a landscape quilt that uses the color, pattern, and texture of fabrics to capture the feel and mood of the Everglades at sunset. The creation of abstract textile images is used to convey the visceral feeling of the location, and travel photography as the base of the process. Each of quilt panels has unfinished edges inside of the frame. Aiyana Paterson-Zinkand’s photography has been published by the Smithsonian. One of the artist’s large set of panels, titled 'Weaving My Life' won an honorable mention award at Western Maryland College's student art show in 2005. Item donated by Aiyana Paterson-Zinkand.
