This project is a collaboration with Nicole Schoepflin.
Artist Statement
ar·ti·fact/ˈärdəfakt/
noun
1. an object made by a human being, typically
an item of cultural or historical interest
2. something observed in a
scientific investigation or experiment that is not naturally present but occurs
as a result of the preparative or investigative procedure
We are
surrounded by artifacts.
This
collection began as a collaboration based on common curiosity and intrigue. We
were drawn to these little artifacts as we saw them abandoned around the city
and needed to gather and document them, to put them in the light.
These
weaves are pieces of culture, artifacts of the human existence, the female
existence. We shed our skin, we shed our hair, we grow, we morph, and in the
end, we shed our bodies. Along the way, we might stop and look closely and
observe these scattered bits of ourselves left behind.
