Show Is Tomorrow! Any Austinites Wanna Come Out, Wed Love To See Yall

Show is tomorrow! Any Austinites wanna come out, we’d love to see y’all

Kinda a rough draft of floral placement for my main dress for the shift change challenge. Took the photos so I could sleep on it and look them over before decided to start sewing. 

Any Austin stitchers interested, it’s basically an “Everyone has the same pattern” type thing, I can pass on the info. I believe the show is Dec 15th

Happy #transdayofvisibility here’s a #nonbinary #selfie at work

I would tag folks as per instructed, but despite having some folks I’d love to get to know better, I have never gotten over my internet shyness enough to actually feel like I could tag anyone. Feel free to respond if you so feel.

My work explores the contradictions between the impulse to destroy and the compulsion to mend. I juxtapose rapid acts of destruction, such as spilling and cutting, with painstaking, restorative labor. Embroideries are hand-stitched over stains and rips, contrasting the accidental with the meticulous, constructing narrative from randomness and mistake. The initial marks are found on linens or are created by cutting and staining canvas. The work scrambles expressions of aggression with masochistic patience and sublimation and plays with the feminine through the graphic form of the “stain” and the adding of peek-a-boo, lace inlays to repair cut holes that expose the hidden space behind the canvas. Shadows on the wall add a sculptural dimension and some pieces are hung off the wall to reveal the secret and unintended marks of the verso. Thanks Rhumboogie
