Mixed textile media.&nbsp;With South County Homeless Project, Hayward and volunteers&nbsp;Maureen ONeill, Morgan Baxter, Rosemary Sallee&nbsp; Story Quilts and DIYwith Unhoused Communities The Story Quilt Project grew out of a free cape-making workshop that we lead as part of Sunday Streets in San Francisco’s Tendeloin neighborhood in the Fall of 2019. In this project,&nbsp; Feral Fabric invited neighborhood residents to help decorate one of several capes, and then be photographed wearing the cape in front of a TENDERLOIN neighborhood banner. Unhoused neighbors seemed particularly interested in participating, and got us thinking seriously about different kinds of visibility around homelessness in the Bay Area.The project started as a series of workshops with people currently or recently experiencing homelessness. In the workshops, participants made panels to self-represent, tell the story of their community, or process their experience. This project intended to archive participants’ individual narratives and the stories of temporary communities into a series of free-form, narrative quilts. Feral Fabric held workshops with&nbsp;Berkeley Women’s Daytime Drop-in Center, South County Homeless Project, and Here/There Camp before Covid disrupted in-person meetings and put the project on hold in late February of 2022. In 2021, Feral Fabric developed a DIY kit as a way to continue our Story Quilt project during Covid. This initial kit developed into the Sew &amp; Mend Kit that we are still distributing today in partnership with Punks with Lunch and the Village in Oakland. Made primarily using donated materials, kits contain everything recipients need to express themselves through textiles, and double as a fix-it and embelishment kit for clothes, tents or anything else made of fabric. Later kits also contained a Housing Rights fabric poster/patch. We see the kits as a natural progression in the spirit of the original idea - instead of coming together in quilt form, the panels remain dispersed in communities throughout the Bay Area. Feral Fabric also distributed sewing machines and textile art materials to several homeless shelters serving youth and families in Berkeley and Oakland. Our intention for this project was to gain visibility and rights for people experiencing homelessness in the Bay Area. We held our final exhibition of the Story Quilt project in the outward-facing windows at Pro Arts Gallery in Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, California in May-June of 2022. Thank you to all of our participants, in particular Toan Nguyen. Special thanks also to the volunteers who helped us finish the quilts - Maureen O’Neill, Morgan Baxter, and Rosemary Sallee and to Social Justice Sewing Academy for material donations.&nbsp; This work was made possible in large part through an Artist Grant from the City of Berkeley ︎︎︎&nbsp; See research archive for this project <img width="1049" height="1250" width_o="1049" height_o="1250"

Workshop Documentation: NIAD Art Center, Richmond &nbsp; &nbsp;2.Instructional material for workshop at Berkeley Art Museum Since 2018 Feral Fabric has led backpatch, banner, quilt, and cape making workshops at&nbsp;art institutions and in the community. Our workshops look at fabric as a tool for communication, and continue the Bay Area’s tradition of radical textile production and clothing modification. We see these workshops as part of the lineage of Native Funk and Flash, DIY, Punk, story quilts and political banners. Because of Covid, in 2020 and 2021 we also modified our in-person workshops for Zoom, and developed DIY kits as a way to bring workshops together virtually. In our backpatch workshops, we encouraged participants to celebrate their identity and get a little weird using applique and other surface decoration techniques. We have also led free workshops where participants made fabric signs, capes, and banners to self-represent and share community values.&nbsp; In 2020 Feral Fabric started a series of story quilt workshops with members of unhoused comunities, which evolved to distributing free craft and mend kits with partner organizations, and donating workshop materials to homeless shelters in the Bay Area. Also in 2020, Feral Fabric was&nbsp;commissioned by Berkeley Art Center to create a community banner artwork to hang outside their building during Covid. This project was realized using DIY kits with instructions on how to participate and an optional zoom workshop. The final banner included work by over 40 neighbors, seniors, school kids, artists, unhoused community, and others. <img width="1782" height="1324" width_o="1782" height_o="1324" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/835760e4df6e12d72bc814e2bfcb31446e710293c6152ef4237f1369614ab63f/FF16.jpg" data-mid="153427600" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/835760e4df6e12d72bc814e2bfcb31446e710293c6152ef4237f1369614ab63f/FF16.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1785" width_o="2000" height_o="1785" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b9d722234299810c882265db2e9b0ecc4293cfee1318fe539df61843136a9eb1/FF14.jpg" data-mid="153427599" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b9d722234299810c882265db2e9b0ecc4293cfee1318fe539df61843136a9eb1/FF14.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc6ce47d0720d9a4d21a470fc9ed5c27880949d7887c7f5dad9bedb3b0fdd277/FF1.jpg" data-mid="153427552" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc6ce47d0720d9a4d21a470fc9ed5c27880949d7887c7f5dad9bedb3b0fdd277/FF1.jpg" /> <img width="864" height="648" width_o="864" height_o="648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/390f6e623831412d7d8b9a0a1f6d2ece86b1e7df046a2fb07daa5dfc586b3183/FF7.jpg" data-mid="153427584" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/864/i/390f6e623831412d7d8b9a0a1f6d2ece86b1e7df046a2fb07daa5dfc586b3183/FF7.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1488" width_o="2000" height_o="1488" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a9c4e145aa1e8a695785cc9a67bed945bb83c2359a3206c726d9c51c9033b9d/lady2.jpg" data-mid="153429198" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a9c4e145aa1e8a695785cc9a67bed945bb83c2359a3206c726d9c51c9033b9d/lady2.jpg" /> <img width="1932" height="1462" width_o="1932" height_o="1462" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46136da0cba1c403990803bd879e6fa081795a0d922e7ed86978ad3c9a817297/herethereBW.jpg" data-mid="153428384" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46136da0cba1c403990803bd879e6fa081795a0d922e7ed86978ad3c9a817297/herethereBW.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1488" width_o="2000" height_o="1488" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b510d1a299ed62437f8fe332fb77963fd850612e0b0b27d6c73d8c90ab66d903/craft.jpg" data-mid="153429220" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b510d1a299ed62437f8fe332fb77963fd850612e0b0b27d6c73d8c90ab66d903/craft.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2489983a9fb04b19fd63d219d7901f03a6149bac3dbe057b35d49b431982b6ac/FF5.jpg" data-mid="153427575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2489983a9fb04b19fd63d219d7901f03a6149bac3dbe057b35d49b431982b6ac/FF5.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1800" width_o="2880" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6b2567f00717d2ad88fb7644f10ca968711d9bc54bb42d12032ba3c1740e622/BACbw.jpg" data-mid="153429582" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6b2567f00717d2ad88fb7644f10ca968711d9bc54bb42d12032ba3c1740e622/BACbw.jpg" /> 1.

We bring forward ideas, conversations, and workshops that combine our interests in textiles, contemporary art, and personal and cultural transformation. Since 2018 we have published Feral Fabric Journal, an online periodic journal that highlights radical textile production in art, activism, and countercultural movements. We have led textile-based workshops and projects with institutions including Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley Art Center, Southern Exposure’s Youth Advisory Council, and NIAD Art Center. In 2020-2022 Feral Fabric also worked on Story Quilts, a narrative quilting and DIY craft project with unhoused community in the Bay Area. Feral Fabric supports critical thinking about capitalist and socially-normative structures, and promotes inclusion of people and progressive voices and values. Paulina Berczynski is a Polish-American artist and designer working interdisciplinarily with textiles, social practice, printmaking, and design. She is influenced by movements for social justice and collectivity, domesticity and womens work, and folk arts and crafts. She received her MFA in Social Practice from California College of the Arts, and her BFA in Communication Design from Carnegie Mellon University. She has led textile-based projects in Łódż (Poland), Berlin (Germany), and with many California art institutions including High Desert Test Sites (Joshua Tree), Berkeley Art Museum (Berkeley), and Southern Exposure (San Francisco). She recently completed a Fulbright Grant to Poland, where she researched radical textiles from the time of Poland’s occupation in the 1960-80s.&nbsp;She is currently developing several participatory, web-based, and surface design projects. She is based in Berlin. Amanda Walters is a writer, sculptor, and textile artist from south Florida. Her work explores the strange and well manicured history of her home state, the intersections of landscape and capitalism, social ecology, and the fantasies embedded in tourism. Walters received her MFA in Studio Practice and MA in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts, and her BFA with emphasis in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited at Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago, Berkeley Art Center, Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, San Francisco Arts Commision, and Southern Exposure in San Francisco, among other places.

While quilting they talk about the brutal history of Canada’s colonial project, racism, and inequality.Each quilt panel illustrates an individual and varied perspective on the theme of the legacy of the residential schools in Canada. The residential schools were religious schools meant to convert and assimilate indigeous children to a white Euro-Canadian culture. Many patches illustrate an alienating fracture in the psyche that conjures images of science fiction nightmares, the total inversion of a life, including family, internment, abuse, and trauma. Other patches feature images of their endangered culture as an insistence of their identity.&nbsp; In Williams’s panel (above) we see terror in the subtle fractures of the everyday mundane. The milieu of the two cultures are paired to show their similarities, as if two worlds are separated only by a fun house mirror.&nbsp; <img width="510" height="552" width_o="510" height_o="552" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3f2b8d27690fde731b13ec666ebdad5171ac8d67cdd4a53ed02de154395910db/3quilt-dixie-shilling_1_orig.jpg" data-mid="153024268" border="0" data-scale="69" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/510/i/3f2b8d27690fde731b13ec666ebdad5171ac8d67cdd4a53ed02de154395910db/3quilt-dixie-shilling_1_orig.jpg" /> This panel by Dixie Shilling is an abstract depiction of a traumatic memory by the artist about her time at the residential school. One day while at school a girl was removed from class and placed in a car outside. The top row represents the girl’s removal from the classroom and placement in the car, while the middle and lower rows reflect the surreal surrounding scene of sunny skies and a giant school lawn. The girl is likely one of the missing or murdered indigenous women and girls of Canada and the United States, an epidemic that has been happening since 1980, and was only recently officially acknowledged by the Canadian government. <img width="620" height="601" width_o="620" height_o="601" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c65889144bd1b0f234d3673e2ee4abee939f67110894e4944c60948b681cd36c/3quilt-14-alice-olsen-williams-1_1_orig.jpg" data-mid="153024267" border="0" data-scale="75" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/620/i/c65889144bd1b0f234d3673e2ee4abee939f67110894e4944c60948b681cd36c/3quilt-14-alice-olsen-williams-1_1_orig.jpg" /> This panel illustrates a modified medicine wheel.

Amish quilts reflect these values in their construction and style. They were originally made from remnants of fabric used to make clothing, and were solid-colored—never patterned—fabric. Prioritizing darker, more “serious” colors, Amish quilts are also known for their frequent use of the color black, which is the predominant color of Amish men’s clothing. Since quilts were originally used to keep out drafts and as blankets in the home, their construction allowed women self expression and sanctioned creativity in a culture focused on community, practicality, and frugality. Other than their bold, modernist use of shape and color, Amish quilts are also known for the precise stitches. <img width="1046" height="998" width_o="1046" height_o="998" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9664c586edca18e6823538fe6fe18c664c618cab4c14cfe1b49a01ecdffdc2de/diamond.jpg" data-mid="153024170" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9664c586edca18e6823538fe6fe18c664c618cab4c14cfe1b49a01ecdffdc2de/diamond.jpg" /> <img width="2494" height="3143" width_o="2494" height_o="3143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8b1d093bea48dfc64106acc920b57d5ab34dbb2dfb826f3396d7ccba7fd4427/SQR_41.jpeg" data-mid="153024177" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8b1d093bea48dfc64106acc920b57d5ab34dbb2dfb826f3396d7ccba7fd4427/SQR_41.jpeg" /> <img width="2379" height="2462" width_o="2379" height_o="2462" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f670bf8fb75bfc64b08d9a152ae07f5320ff705cfe6a6dea25b3c270f107242/SQR_8.jpg" data-mid="153024181" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f670bf8fb75bfc64b08d9a152ae07f5320ff705cfe6a6dea25b3c270f107242/SQR_8.jpg" /> <img width="1428" height="1643" width_o="1428" height_o="1643" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/262949763486e25f7ab5c48892f395842c178cb55db16506027a35eeee28fc8c/SQR_6.jpg" data-mid="153024179" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/262949763486e25f7ab5c48892f395842c178cb55db16506027a35eeee28fc8c/SQR_6.jpg" /> <img width="1400" height="1537" width_o="1400" height_o="1537" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40819a147affa366887a1145bfec9d554e34d9929679a6d7f8da7a13751a8f58/SQR_1.jpeg" data-mid="153024172" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40819a147affa366887a1145bfec9d554e34d9929679a6d7f8da7a13751a8f58/SQR_1.jpeg" /> <img width="1015" height="1200" width_o="1015" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/74fa1872dd702f7dae0b67de53f8e828deb55f81110f38e8903487b28896cfcd/bars2.jpg" data-mid="153024168" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/74fa1872dd702f7dae0b67de53f8e828deb55f81110f38e8903487b28896cfcd/bars2.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="3884" width_o="3024" height_o="3884" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4db429c8256d02d1677ac28aec93f893fcb3c71df1a644b1e2590daa128de620/SQR_3.jpeg" data-mid="153024174" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4db429c8256d02d1677ac28aec93f893fcb3c71df1a644b1e2590daa128de620/SQR_3.jpeg" /> <img width="1038" height="1388" width_o="1038" height_o="1388" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b77707c7c200e9ebcedc761a58f734eede6fa5d7b9bdb4d1b8bee10667fa27b/red.jpg" data-mid="153024171" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b77707c7c200e9ebcedc761a58f734eede6fa5d7b9bdb4d1b8bee10667fa27b/red.jpg" /> <img width="1995" height="2617" width_o="1995" height_o="2617" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f4ae693eb972c4fb00c27ec9b6e7d86d4ceb0a5e8c6c89cd0d0c986bf3cef4b/SQR_7.jpeg" data-mid="153024180" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f4ae693eb972c4fb00c27ec9b6e7d86d4ceb0a5e8c6c89cd0d0c986bf3cef4b/SQR_7.jpeg" /> <img width="2892" height="2887" width_o="2892" height_o="2887" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05c08abb68a5085ebe74c2b576bc59f36324de648407f073515f0b41b65179fb/SQR_5.jpeg" data-mid="153024178" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05c08abb68a5085ebe74c2b576bc59f36324de648407f073515f0b41b65179fb/SQR_5.jpeg" /> Most early Amish quilts were of the “plain” variety, in which the quilt top is a single piece of solid colored fabric. This eventually evolved to include variations on simple, geometric compositions such as Bars, Circle in Square, Star of Bethlehem and Sunshine and Shadow. Many of these forms, which evolved amidst strict cultural and formal restraints, have deep spiritual meanings. For example, Sunshine and Shadow is a very popular design; a sort of psychedelic pattern emerges from concentric diamonds of dark and light squares. This pattern references balance, as between physicality and spirituality, or between the dark and light aspects of life and experience. These strong compositions, with often unexpected and interesting color choices, were made by women living in a patriarchal culture based on god-fearing and restraint. The power of these women and of their relationship to the divine permeates these objects and radiates from them. https://feralfabric.com/SQR-Rosie-Lee-Research-Page Thu, 15 Sep 2022 10:12:55 +0000 FeralFabric2022 https://feralfabric.com/SQR-Rosie-Lee-Research-Page Story Quilts / Research <img width="1296" height="1012" width_o="1296" height_o="1012" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3f0cbfa3674c0e2322e274effa89bdc07c1a395da374652bf35af7e4ecd0e2f9/coverpic2.jpg" data-mid="153024220" border="0" data-scale="96" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3f0cbfa3674c0e2322e274effa89bdc07c1a395da374652bf35af7e4ecd0e2f9/coverpic2.jpg" /> Rosie Lee Tompkins Rosie Lee Tompkins was a Bay Area quilter known for her brightly colored improvisational quilts.

Her neo-expressionist forms mix ultra-saturated color with varied textures like fur and velvet.Tompkins brought traditional quilting into a contemporary art context both in form and in production. Her work was funded by Oakland psychologist Eli Leon, who she met while selling household wares at a flea market. The meeting led to a long and productive relationship between the artist and benefactor, and enabled her to outsource finishing work, bringing the hand and sometimes creative agency of other quilters into many of her quilts. <img width="2000" height="1507" width_o="2000" height_o="1507" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05059345ba4ccccd48de2bd3888c064e242dae765ad6e4fb7d3fbecd8905214e/cali.jpg" data-mid="153024222" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05059345ba4ccccd48de2bd3888c064e242dae765ad6e4fb7d3fbecd8905214e/cali.jpg" />Paulina Berczynski interview with former BAMPFA Director and Chief Curator Lawrence Rinder PZB: Do you have any thoughts on how Eli Leon’s patronage affected Rosie Tompkins’ output in terms of encouragement, but also through financial support... so she could focus on the creative act? LR: He certainly encouraged her, he told her he thought she was brilliant, he encouraged her to exhibit her work, he put her work in exhibitions… so he clearly had a fairly significant impact on her public exposure. He also helped her… on occasion to acquire some fabrics… she was very specific about the fabrics she wanted and she would go out and buy them usually at thrift stores. And he did hire other local quilters to quilt her pieced tops. She wasn’t particularly interested in quilting, per se.&nbsp; Although there are some examples, like in the show at BAMPFA right now, works where she did the quilting and in those works the quilting, in some cases more than others, does have some kind of sort of visual impact on what you see. <img width="1800" height="2400" width_o="1800" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72f02b57151816886951d9b27147556e8d3898a94c0de1142b8bf92047fde8ea/IMG_2492.jpeg" data-mid="153024212" border="0" data-scale="58" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72f02b57151816886951d9b27147556e8d3898a94c0de1142b8bf92047fde8ea/IMG_2492.jpeg" /> Example of thread-tying in Tompkins work, Berkeley Art MuseumAll photographs from Berkeley Art Museum’s retrospective of Rosie Lee Tompkins 2020 In one case in particular its because she uses this method of quilting called tying where instead of using a needle and thread you use lengths of yarn that are drawn through from the back to the front and it creates kind of little puffs on the top that are very visible; and she used yellow string so in that case, she’s emphasizing the quilting as a visual thing. Sometimes she'd add a decorative border when she was doing the quilting herself. But in the vast majority of the works she didn't do the quilting. Eli hired other local quilters to do the quilting and sometimes that had an impact on the look of the piece and sometimes it didn’t, or didn’t have much. I mean there's always going to be some, because if it's with a needle and thread, if you look closely you can see the needle and thread. This finishing process created a web of support among the artists collaborating on the finished works, financially through job opportunities, but also by offering exposure for those artists as Tompkins’s work gained recognition in the art world. Rinder elaborates on the collaborators, “The people that were doing that quilting were themselves very great artists, Willa Ette Graham, Johnnie Wade and so on... Eli owned works by all of them.” This structure complicates the typical collaborator relationship, in that the artists were being paid in a production format, which mirrors the production houses of well funded artists, but differs in that these artists, well respected in their own practices, are given credit for their authorship.&nbsp; PZB: I’m interested in the way that these things move between the worlds of craft and fine art. Maybe thousands of women have made similar artworks that are never positioned as art, so it seems Eli Leon was instrumental in changing the perception of her work. LR: Eli Leon felt that it was great art and so he was concerned that when it was exhibited, that’s how it would be positioned and appreciated.&nbsp; Sometimes someone can come along and start talking about [work] in a different way whether that’s changing the way its perceived from craft to fine art or changing its perception from being impressionist to symbolist. It always takes a person to think in a different way, see in a different way, So yes I think one person can have an influence. But the question about how did Eli Leon’s patronage affect her creativity? That’s kind of hard to say. I mean the fact that he got people to quilt her pieced tops, I don’t think that necessarily would have freed her up so to speak… because she wasn’t quilting them to begin with. She would just do the pieced top and keep it that way.&nbsp;There is a small revelation in this last line, and an insight into Tompkins’ creative perspective. If Tompkins sewed the pieced tops and left them unquilted, it would appear that she saw herself as an artist first, using textiles primarily as an artistic medium and some conventions from the quilt’s scale and piecing as tools in her repetoire, skills she learned from her mother. If she saw herself as a quilter first, or a practitioner of the craft of quilting, she would most likely have finished the quilts, and would not have left them as tops.&nbsp; I had entered into Rosie Lee Tompkins retrospective, and previously into digital reproductions of her work, assuming that she was a quilter first, whose work was discovered and then positioned as fine art by Eli Leon, much in the way that quilts by others such as the Gee’s Bend Community have been “discovered” and positioned as art by people (mostly white men) outside that community. I had assumed her success was what drove her towards more experimental and less quilt-like textile forms in her later work. With this insight into her working process, it becomes clear that Tompkins probably saw herself as an artist all along, and was making contemporary textile artworks, not quilts, when she met Leon. Do such distinctions need to be made?In an art world that is keen to show textile art, weaving, and ceramics by male artists at a rate much higher than that of female artists using the same materials - and prone to calling women making similar work not necessarily art, but the more utilitarian and stodgy craft - issues of authorship and intent are relevant, and the positioning of work can be political and nuanced. While Eli Leon was instrumental in bringing Tompkins’ quilts the audience and esteem they so clearly deserve, it is interesting to consider her perspective as an artist, not as a quilter, in making these works. <img width="1800" height="2122" width_o="1800" height_o="2122"
