By reimagining the conventional structures of traditional quilt designs, Louisiana P. Bendolph’s patterns often dissolve into fields of fractured forms that, both literally and figuratively, fall off the grid. Bendolph explains that while most of her work is rooted in the popular Gee’s Bend ‘Housetop’ pattern of concentric squares, her quilts often evolve as she makes them into what she calls “un-Housetop” designs, as exemplified by this piece.
