For these works I used old quilts I had collected from my family that had been damaged, and deconstructed them. The quilt backings were stretched over large wooden frames, and then painted with an iron rust solution. The damage the quilts had sustained during storage had included rusted spots, so I decided to use this damage as my material, pulling from my knowledge of metal salts as part of the dyeing process.

The images painted on the quilt backings reference the stitching lines left from the quilt top, as well as the short story La Oveja Negra by Margarita Aguirre, In which the narrator parses through her aunts experience of being raped and sent away to a convent, and the feeling of disillusionment experienced when attempting to understand ones families convoluted family history in which women are made to be the villains in their own suffering.
