Field of Blue / Field of You
2024
Yarn, fabric, wood (from my great grandfather’s tree)
42 x 51 x 2

‘Field of Blue / Field of You’ is inspired by a patch of knitted sweater worn as a baby. The original garment has since been repurposed into a blanket consisting of squares from pieces of clothing worn during infancy. This work is positioned to investigate the material lifecycle of textile juxtaposed to the lifecycle of personhood. Here, textile has been reimagined and recreated and now serves a new function as site for video projection, combining 2D, 3D, and 4D elements together. Through both video and woven material time is visibly eroding, mutating, and progressing.
