ARTIST STATEMENT
Our world is defined by needs and desires for material goods, which are manufactured on one side of the world, and shipped in enormous containers across the oceans, to semi-trailer trucks waiting to drive them across our side of the world, through cities and fields. The manufacture of the goods, the energy expended, the end use of goods no longer desired, all deeply affect our environment and our health.
MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES
Wool, mylar, cotton.
Handwoven, discontinuous brocade.
