Patchwork (art form)

Patchwork in art is a technique where various pieces of fabric, often of different colors and patterns, are sewn together to create a larger artwork. It originated as a practical craft for making blankets but has evolved into a form of artistic expression. Artists use patchwork to explore texture, contrast, and storytelling through the combination of diverse materials. The process involves selecting, cutting, and stitching pieces meticulously, resulting in a textured, layered piece that celebrates both craftsmanship and creative vision.
