SEAMSIDE: Exploring the Inner Work of Textiles

HOW TO SAY YES TO HIGH-VOLUME JOY with textile artist Russell James Barratt


Listen Later

Russell James Barratt and his wildly joyful quilts make me want to lasso the UK and bring our two countries closer together. His work is loud and colorful, his demeanor is gentle and composed, and those two sides of Russell make for an imminently enjoyable friend to chat with.

In this SEAMSIDE conversation, Russell and I explore:
① how he balances the tension of empty space and maximalism
② why the arc of creative exploration is longer than long
③ how we can use our quilts to say things words don’t touch
