MIA Galleries is proud to present Curious Geometries, an exhibition of large-scale, sewn and quilted artworks by artist Regina Durante Jestrow. The exhibition invites viewers to pause and enter a world where pattern, material, and memory collide. This series of textile-based works—including stretched compositions and free-form art quilts—explores the irregular, organic, and often playful relationships between geometry and gesture. Inspired by the layered ecologies and the multicultural textures of Miami, the works weave together improvisational dyeing and piecing techniques that nod to the history of quilting while disrupting its expectations.
Repurposed fabrics—sourced from around Miami, including Miami International Airport’s Interior Design Department—carry personal and collective histories, which are transformed through accumulation, repetition, and painterly intuition. Whether suspended freely or taut across stretched canvas, each piece pulses with tension between structure and flow, echoing the rhythms of urban grids and natural forms.
Curious Geometries becomes a site of contemplation and curiosity for travelers: a space where hand-made patterns mimic aerial views, fiber mimics paint, and the boundaries between craft and fine art quietly unravel.
