Jane Tardo: Catboyfriend’s Calendar Quilt Show

Jane Tardo’s Catboyfriend’s Calendar Quilt Show introduces a maximalist world of conceptual quilts filled with feline-headed pin-up figures, seasonal rituals, and surreal narrative moments. Working with collage-like sewing techniques and found fabrics, Tardo creates richly detailed quilted tapestries that explore companionship, nature, cyclical time, and the small acts of leisure and joy that give shape to life. The exhibition feels whimsical and strange, but also deeply crafted and emotionally tender. Through her cat-centric figures and handmade surfaces, Tardo transforms quilting into a space of fantasy, humor, and intimate storytelling.
