Paying Homage: Celebrating the Diversity of Men in Quilts

Crum described this work by saying: “The Parrot quilt is full of brilliant colors that I can’t fully see to enjoy.” Crum is color blind, but that does not stop him from incorporating color relationships and patterns into his art. His current work often focuses on a single figure—whether feathered, furry, or human—to which Crum may be paying homage.
