fiber art

12 x 12″

The muscle memory of sewing is guided by recollections, stringing the grit and tooth of an abduction, the furrows of seams and seeming, of life stories fought out, patched out before paint would dry, better rather knit, pounded out in coarse intermingling of fibers, torn out and restitched and needle felted, a forgiving medium where every loop can be redone and undone, tacked and basted anew.

Each embroidery, created from an original figure drawing is transformed into needlepoint, a quilt of pores, threaded with twenty or more colors, bounded and knotted with each physical perforation, a performative puncture onto self-healing felt.

 

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
