If It Was Only This Easy – a post-Election Day quilt
Tags: Activism · Sustainability
What happens when policy changes meet a sewing machine? My post-Election Day quilt If It Was Only This Easy joins my Election Day 2024 quilt series. I stitched notebook-paper lines, greyed out "climate change" to echo climate change erased from federal websites, and used crab fabric to recall red king crab and snow crab impacts and the fight for access to climate data.
Rolly's Take
This blog invites those who find solace in creativity amid chaos, connecting with the threads of political change and personal expression. It resonates with individuals who view art as a medium for commentary, channeling their emotions into tangible forms, like quilts that tell stories of resilience and urgency. Here, the act of stitching becomes a metaphor for both the fragility and tenacity of truth in a world of shifting narratives, prompting reflection on the intersection of craft and conscience. Each entry speaks to the hearts of those who believe that creativity can be a form of activism, sparking deeper conversations about what we choose to remember and forget.
