Fibres and Material Practices
I am interested in systems, rituals, and routines that are established to make meaning from material and immaterial accumulations. How, to what extent, and to what effect do people organize their lives and everything in them? Piecing together fragments of the excess generated by everyday living and by studio work itself, I contend with the beauty, absurdity and destructiveness of that excess and with the impulse to ‘make use’ of it.
