Continuing with the idea of CONNECTIONS, this is The Dinner Quilt by Faith Ringgold from 1986.  The canvas for this work is a quilt, which is made up of smaller pieces of fabric that have been sewn together so it's quite literally about connections.  It also deals with connections in that the people around the table have been brought together to connect with each other over their meal, and to connect us, the viewer, to the history that they tell/represent.
