Signature Quilt 2005
Walsh displayed a Signature Quilt passed down through her grandmother's family. Made in 1896 in rural County Antrim, it was shown at Manor Farmhouse, Helpringham as a record of one community to be read in the context of another. The quilt had groupings of signatures from families, church pews and bazaar stall-holders, providing a document of a community and its structure. Walsh is producing a publication with an image of the quilt and a series of short texts. She was inspired to create the piece because of the physical similarity of the Farmhouse to her grandmother's childhood home.
