Gauthier's Quilt was inspired by a visit to the Bosna Quilt Exhibit in Austria. Initially begun in 1993 as a way to provide Bosnian refugees in Austria with a therapeutic artistic and social occupation, the Bosna Quilt Workshop has since been relocated to Goradze, Bosnia. Currently twelve families create and sell quilts which have been exhibited and sold in over 80 European cities. Set to the haunting music of the Sarajevo born musician Goran Bregovic, Gauthier's Quilt explores the memories of a war widow who quilts her loss and sorrow into the fabric of the blanket she is making.
