Day to Day to Day Quilts is an ongoing quilt project that began in January 2026.
The series was initially created as part of the 30×30×30 exhibition at Var Gallery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where thirty artists each produce thirty 6-by-6-inch works over the course of thirty days.
Clifford aims to explore the body, personhood, memory, and the shifting landscapes that shape us—landscapes that evolve in tandem with our own transformations. She planned to create a series of quilted assemblages using scraps of screen-printed CMYK offcuts, found fabrics, and woven materials carried over from previous projects. Each assemblage will represent a fragment of a moment, sourced from my camera roll or from scanned photographs within ephemeral archives.
The works for this project focus on variable memory—how certain moments emerge and fade like fleeting terrains. Clifford envisions these works as “stacks,” forming a vertical landscape that the viewer must visually sink into, investigating each layer as a distinct stratum of experience. Through this layered process, Clifford hopes to examine how memory can be held, reconstructed, and reinterpreted through tactile materiality and the shifting topographies of personal and familial history.
Following its initial month-long prompt, the project has continued to evolve, and Clifford is now producing additional small quilts daily throughout March 2026.
