Art in Embassies - chocot / June 11, 2021 by Alisa Banks

Chocot is currently on exhibition at the US Embassy at Dili, Timor-Leste as part of the US State Department’s Art in Embassies program. Chocot s a paper collage quilt structure consisting of reclaimed monoprints, watercolor paintings, fabric and stitching, and is a nod to the traditional practice of reclaiming used clothing for the creation of new quilts. The process of destroying, tearing and re-arranging the pieces parallel those of observation, deconstruction and analysis - steps required for growth and renewal.
