Local Artist Bisa Butler's Quilts: On View Until Friday

Bisa Butler is a local artist who makes life sized quilts inspired by portraits of Black figures, including those taken by her favorite photographers such as Gordon Parks and Jamel Shabazz. Her new solo exhibition, The World Is Yours, inspired by the lyrics of Nas, is on view now, and combines textiles, paint, Nigerian hand-dyed batiks and African wax-resist cotton. Butler joins us in studio to discuss her process and the show, which is on view at Jeffery Deitch through June 30.
