Shadow Me
Breath in, Breath out, life is a series of breaths until it isn’t. Along the way we encounter the world around us and though our own lens and experience try to interpret what is put before us. Some of it makes sense and some of it doesn’t and we do our best to glean some sort of truth from it all.
This piece uses photos of shadows and peeling paint, an old photo I found that my grandfather had taken the month and year of my birth and a chest x-ray but no one was sure whose, all printed on cotton fabric. I combined these remnants and family relics with hand printed fabric and stitched symbols of forgotten meaning to express the mystery of time and change in the individual and human story. 42×50″ created in spring 2022
