Present Tense
33 x 10 x 3
Vintage wedding gown, silk sari, embroidery thread, found objects, ceramic hands, found wood.
The weaving is created from a vintage silk wedding gown I purchased for my wedding. I did not want to tear it apart but found an odd sort of joy in repurposing its life. I am enchanted with a primitive style of weaving structure that leaves much overlap on the sides- I see this as a sort of wing(s) of protection. Speaking of wings, I found this swan head in the dirt while kicking around in New Orleans.
I use hands in almost every piece I create- lots of personal and worldly symbolism there. Many hands are represented here. Gold luster adds an extra layer of lux and joy and preciousness.
