Rachel Carey George (1908–2011) of the Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers is included ‘Eternally Yours’ at Somerset House, London, an exhibition about repair, care and healing.
On view from 16 June–25 September 2022, ‘Eternally Yours’ showcases diverse examples of creative reuse, from historical samples of the Japanese art of Kintsugi and Boro, which embrace up-cycling and repurposing, to works from contemporary artists who put repair at the heart of their practice.
