Title: Fabric of St. Louis: Connections between brick advertisments and neighborhoods
Creator: Tan, Shuyu
Date: 2015
Description: A rolled, padded quilt with two quilted ties at one end. Title printed in brown to be visible when quilt is rolled up. Unrolled, the interior fabric appears light peach with white polka-dots. At center is a cut-out patch of white vinyl-coated fabric printed with a stylized map of St. Louis, affixed to quilt with white thread. Above and below the map are five sets of four small scrolls, each 6 cm in length, affixed with white thread. Each scroll is a color photographic image, glued to make unrolling them impossible; side by side, each set of four depicts a different historic advertisement printed on the side of a brick building in St. Louis. Each set of four scrolls is connected to a specific part of the vinyl map with brown thread in a running stitch, resembling a dotted line.
