DESCRIPTION: Cultural, environmental, political and economic issues related to the US/Mexico border wall and US immigration policy are explored by creating fabric "bricks." Quilters and artists from around the world have participated, expressing a wide variety of opinions, thoughts, and ideas in an 8 x 16 inch format. The 'bricks' are connected, creating five panels, front and back. This collection travels, and is currently accepting textile 'bricks.' See the website for details.
