SONIE JOI RUFFIN "SONS SHALL RIZE" (2002 QUILT)Sonie Joi Thompson-Ruffin
(Missouri, b. 1951)
Sons Shall Rize , 2002
Silk, African fancy print, Bogolan cloth, metallic threads
60" x 52"
Sons Shall Rize is a significant milestone in Ruffin's celebrated career, as it was her first professionally exhibited quilt, which shortly thereafter was selected to hang in Missouri's state capitol building in Jefferson City. According to an essay published by Pearlie Mae Johnson in her text African American Quilts (2008) which prominently discusses the piece, " Sons Shall Rize refers to African American males who are continuously challenged to rise above the atrocities they face, which are often associated with simply being black." The fabrics, construction, and composition selected for the quilt allude to numerous African ethnic groups, including Asante, Bamana, Fon, and ancient Egypt. Ruffin herself gave additional context for the symbolism present: "The ragged edges means rising from rags, gradually rising to the riches they so deserve. The center is mud-cloth and other fabrics include images of Egyptian kings. [The sun's rays] are African American men rising to the richness... I chose a purple silk cloth because to me it symbolizes royalty."
The work is accompanied by original text entitled "Sons Shall Also Rise: Africa is ancestral, a living document for all mankind," which is pencil-signed and dated. The top bar is outfitted with Velcro as a means of wall-hanging.
