Description
-
This quilted textile by Debra Hanes is an homage to Dr. LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., showing the highlights of his career and life. Prevalent in African American culture, this piece is a type of “life quilt”, as this colorful tapestry gives the viewer a glimpse into the doctor’s life with sewn-on prints of letters, magazine covers, and photographs.
