This quilt is a large scale reproduction of the UPC code for a mass-produced Martha Stewart quilt sold at Macy's.
Artist Statement: "Using the UPC code of a mass-produced quilt as a starting point, this quilt takes the point of sale as a point of inspiration. The ubiquitous bar code becomes a place of color and play, for injecting individuality and personality in lieu of the homogeneity of the factory-made. The rigid perfection of the bar cade stripes gives way to the subtle variation of the handicraft, reflecting the texture of a lived life rather than a simple purchase."
