Artist's Description

Patches, the Crazy Quilt Buffalo, celebrates Oklahoma's heritage by employing the structure of the patchwork quilt. Each patch will be painted to resemble a highly stylized image or pattern that reflects those things associated with Oklahoma.

The objectives of Patches, the Crazy Quilt Buffalo, are to (1) be an aesthetically beautiful and vibrant piece of art; (2) convey a sentiment of home and family; and (3) showcase remnants of Oklahoma past and recent past.
