Abstract

Over the past year, the exhibition, A Stitch Between, has developed into a meditation on relationships with the self and others. This project includes a series of three portraits and a grouping of felt objects. These were created through a variety of processes, including printing, drawing, painting, and sewing. This formal combination mirrors the complexity of relationships surrounding sexuality and reproductive health that is the undercurrent of the work. Utilizing fiber’s associations with femininity and its ties to feminine resistance, A Stitch Between examines moments that are sites for growth and celebration.
