With her needle and thread, she created designs that the world had never seen before: She mixed taffeta with T-shirts, wove patterns into words, and created shapes and stitches completely her own. But most importantly, Martin used her quilts to tell stories of Black life, of her memories with her family, and her love for her faith.Through her work, she found freedom and courage, but she wasn’t ready to share herself with the public, so she created Rosie Lee Tompkins—an artist whose radical quilts took the world by storm.In this stunning picture book biography, Constance Moore delivers an exquisite tribute to one of the greatest, yet often overlooked, artists in our history.Constance Moore is an artist and educator based in Oakland, California. She is the illustrator of the Colors of My Life series. She loves teaching elementary school art and shares her students’ love of color. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alameda/constance-moore-a-language-of-stiches/100001990527231533 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Books Inc.
