The five artists in The Sum of the Parts explore the physical and conceptual dimensionality inherent in quilting. They investigate core aspects of quilting including abstraction, pattern making, and how memories are embedded in materials, while expanding upon the form itself by pushing beyond its conventional structure using unexpected materials and sculptural techniques. 

Exhibition artists: Lavialle Campbell, Kathryn Clark, Sabrina Gschwandtner, Carlos Spivey, Jade Yumang. 

This exhibition is supported in part by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture and the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs.
