Stitching Stories Reimagined
Stitching Stories Reimagined is a collaborative public artwork created by North Carolina based artists Eliza Redmann, Carlos Gonzalez, David Wilson, and Owens Daniels. Drawing inspiration from a crocheted quilt made during the COVID‑19 pandemic by four women incarcerated in the Canary Unit of the North Carolina Correctional Institute for Women, the artists worked together to transform its powerful narratives into a large‑scale, immersive experience. The original quilt, completed in 2021, captured the stories of 62 incarcerated women through squares marking each year served and ribbons symbolizing struggles such as addiction, trauma, separation from family, and loss.
Now installed at Dix Park, Stitching Stories Reimagined expands this deeply personal artwork into a 30‑foot‑long installation designed for both travel and long‑term display within a modified shipping container. The artists reinterpret the quilt’s themes using a mosaic wall, an opposing mirror wall, and a custom vinyl wrap, each element crafted to reflect the resilience and humanity of the women whose experiences shaped the project. The mirrored wall encourages visitors to see themselves in relation to these stories, while surrounding words come from workshops held with incarcerated women and participants in Arise Collective’s Women’s Reentry Project.
