About
Turkredghost 1
In this tapestry of life, I've intertwined abstract thoughts with the rawness of primitivism. I used stitch on cotton to create a conversation between vintage aesthetics and modern chaos. Each stitch represents a whispered story, a fragment of time. This work will add a textured presence with a sense of history and emotion.
Subject
The antique textiles I work with, sometimes, seem to yell at me, but mostly, they lay silent, as I make my own marks alongside, others gone before. Ragged bits, old and new stitching, tracing marks left behind on old textiles are a reminder, of a time when women, had many obligations and few choices. I feel comfortable, as I stitch, tear, dye and reinforce the fragmented pieces. Somehow, I hope, in a small way, by reclaiming and reworking the textiles, I can give a voice to those women.
Med. 1800's Antique textiles, ink, acrylic gesso, thread, sealer, on gallery stretched canvas. All hand sewn. All sealed for protection. (Unframed) Ready to hang.
Size H 25cm x W 20cm x D 4cm
