Julie Floersch - Denim Patchwork




Julie Floersch is a New York based textile artist. She produces large-scale wall-hangings, quilts, 3D textiles, as well as cushions and even patchwork jewellery.

Floersch encorporates used denim in to her patchwork, recycling old jeans in to works of art. Her use of the culturally identified American denim speaks to the viewer, symbolising her love for her country.

The use of denim in Floersch's patchwork pieces have updated the traditonally thought of craft, thrusting the craft of quilting in to the realms of high art.
