Harnessing materiality, chromatics, and technology, the VOID_COLLECTION metamorphoses reimagined television test patterns into conduits of collective retrospection and Indigenous prophecy. Each creation, a mosaic of temporal and spatial layers, folding material, time and space into a multidimensional tableau. Through this dynamic striation, it reframes perceptions, urging audiences to ponder the intricacies of history and envision alternative futures.

VOID_6_STORY_QUILT extends the series’ investigation into chromatics, materiality, and technology, forming a layered meditation on memory, absence, and Indigenous futurity. Reimagining the television test pattern as a living, responsive medium, the quilt shifts this once-static broadcast tool into a dynamic textile field—an evolving language of symbols, frequencies, and form.

The piece takes as its historical seed the “Indian-head” test pattern: a black-and-white graphic introduced in 1939, used to calibrate television signals across North America. Its decontextualized depiction of a Native figure—flattened, anonymous, and framed by technical markers—epitomizes the era’s visual colonization. In VOID_6_STORY_QUILT, this visual artifact is reclaimed and unraveled. Through reinterpretation, the pattern becomes a portal: a site where disrupted frequencies and inherited memory converge.

Created in collaboration with the artist’s mother, the quilt functions as both object and process—a matrilineal act of storytelling, where fabric carries frequency and color indexes emotion, memory, and myth. Thread by thread, sine waves are stitched into place. Tones shift across the surface like static finding form. As each panel emerged, so too did a new set of symbols—organic geometries, rhythmic disruptions, and chromatic logics that resist literal translation but pulse with ancestral presence.

These emergent symbologies are not imposed but revealed through the act of making. They arise from the tension between control and improvisation, between inherited motifs and digital distortion. The result is a six-part story that resists fixed narrative, speaking instead in the language of layered time: nonlinear, multi-voiced, and porous. Towering at the height of a six-story building, the quilt’s monumental scale echoes the magnitude of the histories and futures it holds.
