This exhibition of artwork by Lisa Qualls is comprised of three installations. The first is a suite of paintings and assemblages inspired by quilters and seamstresses from the Quincy area and from the Qualls' family. These colorful and patterned portraits on panels celebrate the family traditions of pattern design, textile making, dyeing and construction. The second portrait grouping is from Qualls’ ongoing Southern Portrait Project. Qualls travels across the South from North Carolina to Texas meeting people, photographing them, and recording their stories. Duty to Memory is an installation inspired by a photo album from the late 1940's from a Quincy area family. The installation is about American rural life; a lifestyle that continues through generations surviving hardships, natural disasters, market cycles and continues to flourish and be sustained despite the many obstacles.
