Bisa Butler shares her fascinating journey with fiber art, African textile traditions, and historical portraiture in an interview with Laura Staugaitis.

Drawing from university training with both AfriCOBRA artists and feminist fiber artists, Butler has carved her own path as an exhibiting artist with vibrant and evocative quilts. I’m working on a small group of eight pieces that are going to be debuted in Harlem in March, when I have my first solo show at Claire Oliver Gallery.

So I’m crunching right now. I’ve finished putting them together and then the sewing I do after. Putting them together takes about 200 hours. It’s just really slow and painstaking. The sewing I can do in two days, about sixteen hours total. That part is so rewarding and so much faster. I’m working on eight small pieces debuted in Harlem in March, when I have my first solo show at Claire Oliver Gallery.
