Current Series: Stitched Geographies
Detail from Fabrica
Stitched Geographies
Working in layers, this series weaves together paper, paint, cloth, and three-dimensional objects. Layering obscured background texts and images with abstracted scenes of daily life, I seek to highlight the contrast between broader world events and personal, lived experiences.
Inspired by the energy of rough sketches, these works are intentionally gritty and imperfect. Stains, tears, and fraying edges rebel against the photoshopped perfection of social media. Recycled found objects, deteriorating materials, and used clothing, strive for eco-consciousness in a world of materialist waste. A heavy emphasis on fabric and stitching pays homage to a long lineage of womxn artists.
