'The Kal’ut Madonna' by Linda Infante-Lyons

“The painting was inspired by my Alutiiq family and the women who worked the salmon canneries in my mother’s native village of Karluk. Kal’ut is the Alutiiq name for Karluk, a once thriving Alutiiq/Sugpiaq village with an abundant salmon run on the Karluk River. My mother was born in Karluk and my great grandmother and grandmother spent a large portion of their lives there. As Alaska came under Russian rule, my ancestors processed fish for a wider Russian population. My great grandmother married an Estonian immigrant and only spoke Russian and Alutiiq. She died at a young age from tuberculosis. This painting is dedicated to my Alutiiq ancestors, my family from Karluk and the sacred salmon that sustained them for over 4,000 years.”

Blackwater Dive

2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread

inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!
