Dimensions: 34” x 19”
Building off the previous quilt, When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip 2 looks at the individual connections in collective spaces — specifically, the dance floor — and how these spaces feed our collective power.
There is a pleasant surprise of tenderness and connectivity when vibing with strangers, which makes the concept of connection tactile and memorable. The flow of energies between bodies is intertwined, yet controlled by the music. It is different than a 1:1 with the music because you’re tapping into something other than the music when you present your energy to another human. These two energies combined reveal what can be thought of as our collective power. Music is a tool we have created as humans to build that power; dancing together is another to shape, harness, and feel it. What others ways are there?
