FF2 Media is proud to post this gorgeously illustrated feature on Bisa Butler by Karen Gershowitz.

"Walking into the exhibition, I was first taken by the size of her work. @bisabutler's group portraits are enormous, and – as exhibited and lit by the Katonah Museum team – they were breathtaking. At first glance, they appeared to be paintings or perhaps stained glass, but no, they were all quilts." - @karengershowitz
