Jesse Krimes: Elegy Quilts

The Fabric Workshop and Museum
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
May 1–November 1, 2026

This new exhibition at the Fabric Workshop and Museum features selections from Jesse Krimes’s Elegy Quilt series (2020–present), a body of work that renders the personal effects of the US carceral system through portraits of domestic spaces. Using donated textiles and American quilting traditions, Krimes creates intricately patterned quilts that meditate on memory, loss, alienation, comfort, and resilience.
