Last May, Julian Marshall, the 22-year-old director of Obey The Giant, a narrative biopic about the street artist Shepard Fairey, raised over $65,000 on Kickstarter. His initial goal was less than half that amount. For a student film, Obey's production values are extremely impressive. Marshall assembled a cast and crew of 150 and shot the entire film over eight days in and around RISD's Providence, Rhode Island campus using the Arri Alexa camera system. As one might expect, a biopic revolving around an artist and art school results in some heavy-handed dialogue, but Obey is an impressive project nonetheless that wouldn't be out of place on IFC, or the Lifetime network.

While Meg Callahan makes these quilts in Rhode Island, her designs have more to do with her tiny hometown in Oklahoma than anything happening near her studio in Providence. The RISD grad draws influences from American Indian patterns and the "beautifully boring" landscape (her words) which surrounds her hometown of Edmond, Oklahoma.

How did she manage to snap a photo with her quilt as the backdrop to some epic wood chopping? She recently told Sight Unseen the photos were taken on a plot of land her sister's boyfriend owns in Oklahoma, and the man with the axe is his father, who frequents the plot to blow off steam by chopping wood.

Three Meg Callahan quilts are currently on sale at Matter.
