Portrait Photography by Thorsten Von Eicken

quilter’s profile
“I learned to sew about the time I learned to write, and the activities are similar—the sentences move along the page the way a line of stitches moves through fabric,” says Angela Moll. Born in Spain, she holds a Ph.D. in Spanish literature and studied quilting and surface design with artists such as Nancy Crow and Jane Sassaman. Her fascination with Chinese brushwork, medieval book arts, and family sewing traditions informs and enriches her work.

Angela Moll’s Secret Diary quilt series (2003-2005) provides “a look inside the intimate space where journals are written and quilts are made,” she says. The “pages” are actual journal entries screen-printed on fabric, layered, and stitched together. Except for a few random words, the text is illegible, “revealing just the outline of a life story.”
