Concept:
In a time of unprecedented technological innovation, our daily lives are increasingly intertwined and interdependent —broadening our concept of neighbor, and blurring geographical and cultural boundaries. In response to this reality, I have created a new landscape that investigates relationships between geographical places while also building a dialogue between color and material. In addition to exploring boundaries, the work pulls from the long-held quilting tradition of reusing discarded remnants to create something new. I am intrigued by the the idea that materials like paper paper maps inherently retain memory from its intended purpose as a navigation tool and also physically with each fold and mark.
