Sweet Dreams

Emily Martinez

Intertwined within every thread of a blanket lies a memory. In her piece, Sweet Dreams, Emily Martinez embraces the gentle lull of nostalgia, memorializing the blur but abundance of childhood memories within every stitch. The patchwork of colors, patterns, and shapes illustrates how past experiences are captured, stored, and cherished far past our brief experience with adolescence.

Fabrics are sewn together to represent the essence of specific memories, some as simple as roasting marshmallows during camping trips to the many hopscotches created with her grandfather to the homes she grew up in.

Certain patterns also represent members of her family, including those that are gone but never forgotten.
