Strips Please is a bold, improvisational quilted wall hanging that celebrates movement, abundance, creative freedom and refusal to be quiet. The playful title signals both humor and confidence, inviting the viewer to engage without restraint. Composed entirely of vibrant fabric strips arranged on the diagonal, the work transforms remnants into focal points of energy and meaning, reflecting the beauty and complexity of collective identity—how difference can coexist without dilution.
African and African-inspired prints converse across four quadrants, creating rhythm, tension, and balance. These divisions create a visual pause, a moment of breath, before the eye is pulled back into the restless energy of the strips themselves. 
Strips Please ultimately asks the viewer to linger. To follow the diagonals. To notice how colors echo, how patterns reappear in unexpected places, how chaos resolves into balance. It is a work about permission—permission to take up space, to use what remains, to be bold without apology.
