Arrange Whatever Pieces Come Your Way are a partnership between Sheelagh Boyce and Annabelle Harty, which celebrates their shared interest in architecture through the creation of handsewn quilts and reconstructed fabric works. Working with friends used clothing and drawing inspiration from iconic buildings, AWPCYW transform worn fabrics into physical forms that address and command space. Over the years Arrange Whatever Pieces Come Your Way have developed a way of seeing that is described in the quilts through their execution, their design, and their materiality. A subtle and sublime dialogue that begins with the relationship between the fabrics chosen and a particular building. Created through re-used materials and textiles, that are subjected to processes of de- and reconstruction, the presented works echo the history of abstract painting and modernist art, while intertwining their status as image and object. They highlight the moment of finding a form and with it the immersion in a previously unconscious world. A world composed – much like architecture, or painting – through structures, lines, color, referential fragments, and transformation
