Maveriqueby HelenMaveriques is inspired by a legal case about the workingl conditions for dancers in a South African nightclub and concerns about human trafficking.. The irony of this quilt is that the term 'maverick' in terms of cattle comes from Samuel Maverick who did not brand his cattle as proof of his ownership. In my design I have used a thermofax screen made from bar codes, airline baggage tags and boarding cards to brand the dancer as if she were a piece of cargo or cattle to be traded and shipped.
