Sometimes the beauty of being an artist is that we get to create our own weird problems to solve. For awhile now, I’ve been preoccupied with the idea of reanimating the seams of old garments that have been worn to threads. Compressed flat in their housing for storage and shipping, Vestiges can be pulled out into various tangled forms for display. Not sure I’ve got these figured out yet, but seriously grateful to Austin-based ICOSA curators Matt Rebholz & Leon Alesi for being open to the experiment!

Vestiges join a wonderfully diverse group of works for ICOSA’s Semicentennial Breakdown: Window Dressing at 50—an exhibition celebrating the 50th iteration of the Window Dressing Project, which I had the pleasure of being part of in 2020 with my dear friend Rakhee Jain Desai.
