Olaitan Callender-Scott: Threads of Time
I make things—art—because it helps me know that I exist in the world. I am a fiber artist at heart, creating as an act of the spirit.
By nature I am inquisitive. I collect and use the information and items I accumulate to create my art.
When I stitch fabrics together, dye, paint, transfer images, build sculptures, photograph, draw, write, or any of the many other activities that call to me, I am learning about my life and what matters to me.
In this collection I share many of the works I’ve made over the years. As a patchwork quilt can be composed of different fabrics, patterns, and colors, my art-life is an assemblage of moments, connections, and explorations that shape my identity.
Through this exhibit I hope you will find connections your own life journey.
