Map making meets quilting in my SciQuilt documenting the South Atlantic Transect from JOIDES Resolution Expedition 390. My location map and globe panel mark sites cored for seafloor spreading research and deep-sea core samples. Made with Spoonflower globe and South African Shweshwe, 33 by 30 in, completed May 10 2023.
Rolly's Take
This blog resonates with those who find beauty in the intersection of art and science, where creativity weaves together threads of discovery and inquiry. It speaks to the contemplative souls who appreciate the stories behind the stitches, inviting them to ponder the deeper connections between our planet's history and the tangible expressions of that knowledge. Those who are drawn to this space may feel a sense of awe at both the vastness of the ocean depths and the intimacy of a handmade quilt, exploring how each piece can tell a story that spans time and distance. Here, the act of creation becomes a mapping of exploration, rich with the nuances of both personal and communal narratives.
