Bisa Butler The Safety Patrol Tote

Tote developed from Bisa Butler's The Safety Patrol, 2018, from the Art Institute of Chicago’s collection. Bisa Butler’s quilts are exuberant, colorful, and almost photo-like—arresting and complex objects made entirely of fabric that has been carefully cut, layered, and stitched together. Through her works, often striking portraits, Butler depicts African American life in a way that invites viewers to deeply consider and invest in the lives of her subjects while also reframing historical narratives surrounding quilt making.
