"Class of 1966": Quilt Art by Rebekka Seigel

Based on the yearbooks of myself and my husband, this piece reflects the hand tinted color portraits of the Vietnam War era. It makes reference to the counter culture’s reaction to the war by the use of peace symbols and yin-yang signs and the most famous slogan of the war resistance movement. The colors of the yo-yos are meant to depict jungle camouflage fabric as this war was the first war for which such fabric was created.
