how is an amish quilt a "found" design?
should have a thread for fabric/textile designs i suppose (or "found" design or w/e)...

Wtf Amish quilt, next you'll be talking about putting bird feathers in your hair
― mh, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
i'm just kidding about "found" design, but in all seriousness it's a term that i've seen thrown around blogs when talking about folk design / naive design that mirrors modernism
― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
i realize it's at least as loaded and patronizing as talking about naive art or outsider art
