Collabs by Rachel Orr and Danielle Stanfill
Q: What was the impetus to collaborate with Rachel Orr?
Danielle Stanfill: “I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and see what would come out of a collaboration. I could see quilt lines in her art and felt like we would work really well together and make some rad shit!”
Parallax 68 x 61 x .25in
This collaborative piece serves as an invitation to explore the convergence of two aesthetic lenses. One, drawn to the precision of geometry and the rhythm of pattern; the other, inspired by nature’s fluid forms and textures.
Rachel applied an abstract painting on the linen with garment ink (meant to resemble calcium encrustation on lava rock found here on Hawai’i Island). Then, handed it off to Dani with complete trust. They agreed on the final pattern that Dani brilliantly designed, and she then hand-quilted the entire piece!
