Based in Kyle, TX, Amanda Celeste Botello has been exploring collage for the past several years. With an interest in sustainability, she makes use of vintage bedding and scrap fabric to create quilted collages on an intimate scale. Nostalgia, comfort items, and stream of consciousness writing all serve as inspiration. Additionally, Amanda employs the technique of free-motion stitching to bind scraps together with a daydreaming machine-drawn scribble.
