Fragments in Process (initial iteration)

We are all fragments, made up of fragments, in relationship. Fragments in Process has become about how we see and interact with each other and ourselves.

Building a language of color and dye material, I see myself in the greens—the golden yellow osage orange tinted by copper or indigo, the fabric an absorbent silk. What have I been affected by? What am I committed to? Attached to? How might I see myself as more vibrant and complete? Beside the pinned fragments that have been hand sewn with a Bojagi style whip stitch, neat piles of various dyed fabrics sit layered in waiting stacks. Looking amongst the stacks and the pairs, which colors and dyestuffs do you relate to? Have you been dipped in multiples? Torn when you were too small smudging your frayed edge? Are you three? Are you still waiting on the pedestal, folded and adaptable, holding your colors?

The metaphors of fabric and dye, seaming and folding, individuals, relationships, and collectives go on and on almost like tarot cards, offering frameworks to think within.

These tiny cuts of fabrics, experiments, forgotten scraps, have each gone through different processes. They have met different plant dyes, at different concentrations, incubations, pre-treatments... Some fresh, some fading, some travel with me across oceans and back. Perhaps forever in progress, this work brings fragments into relationship with each other, seamed and stacked.
