Rope a necklace to my tongue showcases a selection of quilted blankets created by Christalena Hughmanick.
Hughmanick came upon the technique of quilt-making in her birthplace, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a region famous for its Amish communities and their skillful patchwork tradition.
She utilizes this craft history to ask how a search for personal identity through mysticism and hand making can compact a viewer’s notion of time.
