Join visiting artist Nell as she shares the stories sewn into her monumental quilt featured in Radical Textiles. The NELL ANNE QUILT includes embroidered patches made by 441 people from across the world, each patch honouring a significant woman by name.

Nell's quilt emerged from a residency idea she had for the Colin McCahon House in Aotearoa New Zealand. Although McCahon's paining is often reflected in Nell's work, she wanted to honour his wife, Anne (née Hamblett, 1915–1993), an artist in her own right.

Nell explained that ‘each patch and story is a world unto itself, and I felt the responsibility of honouring those stories. The time and love that went into the patches surprised me. It was a beautiful gift cycle, where people donated their mental, emotional and manual energy to something greater than one woman’s story, to form a chorus of female stories’.
