'The jacket'

mixed media sculpture.

05/2023

Traversing around the store in the trolley chair embraced by my grandma's large coat, protecting me from the cold freezers, I remember my imagination running wild creating structures with the leftover fabric from my gran’s jacket. These structures invoked scenarios and communities within the crevasses. I’m using this chair I’ve had for over 22 years to recreate my interest in structure and play, impulsively and intuitively allowing the materials to formulate new structures while also giving my childhood imagination space to come to fruition.
