Binding Botany: 19th Century Quilts
Kristen Spiros Interprets Our Permanent Collection
​ 
March 25, 2026-June 14, 2026

This exhibition highlights the history of the combined practices of science and art in the nineteenth century. For American women, the flora and fauna chosen for their needlework was not simply for aesthetic appeal, but also as representations of their knowledge and methodology.
​
Kristen Spiros received her MA in Art History from the University of Georgia in May 2025. For her capstone research, Spiros collaborated with the QFA Museum, using their permanent collection to create Binding Botany: Nineteenth Century Quilts.

​
Pieces for a Piece brings together six artists whose work is inspired by bojagi and jogakbo, the traditional Korean patchwork cloth made by stitching together small remnants of fabric. Historically used as wrapping cloths, jogakbo transformed discarded fragments into objects of quiet beauty—balancing practicality with a refined sense of composition and care.​​
Working across different cultural backgrounds and artistic practices, the artists reinterpret the language of patchwork in distinct ways—through memory, migration, landscape, ecology, consumer culture, and the experience of home. Their works reveal how fragments, when patiently assembled, can hold traces of time, labor, and lived experience.​​​
As fragments gather into a piece, these works invite us to consider how making—slowly, patiently, by hand—continues to shape the ways we live.​
