Daily Portage
Daily Portage is a series of modestly sized quilted works displayed in the windows of businesses along 14th Street. This project is concentrated on the daily ritual of carrying the garbage to the street corner. Using detritus from the individual businesses along the street Andresen has quilted small, intricate works that recombine the discarded items into something more contemplative. They are displayed in the same locations from which the materials came.
October 1-10
The quilted works will be placed in a group of 6-8 shop/bodega windows located on 14th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A.
