Thinking of You
There are moments and memories in one’s life that you wish could remain forever, safe and untouched in their purest form. Pleasant Memories hold a softness to them they are fond and comforting to go back and revisit in times of unrest, but like most things time can take its toll and memories can be forgotten or a new event may take place and ruin the once pleasant memory and turn it into something painful. The desire to preserve what we love is natural, we as human beings do not handle loss in a positive manner, it can be raw, it can hurt, but in this work I wanted to hold on to that desire to preserve what makes us content. The letter itself is significant to me in a way only I will understand, but by wrapping it in a soft semi see through fabric it blurs that personal nature to suit any viewer in hopes to evoke the memories they associate with the item to overcome their subconscious.
Vascular
Inspired by the organic marks found within the body, mainly the veins that make up the Cardiovascular system. The image of veins has always reminded me of unraveling threads that trail throughout the body, so it came naturally to me to desire to convey this imagery through my work. For this piece I used watercolor to create a blending color field in the background and followed the marks with stitching as to replicate the veins in the body as they would follow the paths made by tissue.
Fugitive
A fugitive item is one that will not hold permanence in this world, decay and destruction comes for all things. The many holes create a sense of fragility.
