“Inspired by her urban surroundings and the natural Pennsylvania landscape, Fox creates contemporary quilts in non-traditional materials; her process of cutting apart tins and sourcing wood is as much a part of the art as the assemblage of the pieces. Fox’s childhood in rural Western Pennsylvania informed her aesthetic, subject matter, and choice of materials. She recognizes the history that comes with salvaging and reclaiming materials and prefers to work with found materials rather than mimicking the patina of old. To Fox, the circle of decay and rebirth of reclaimed materials is a similar narrative to that of Pittsburgh, a city of dramatic beauty and constant change.”
