Wasted on Us

“Wasted on Us” represents a disconnection between land and people. As I patched together abandoned fabrics, I thought about their journey diverted from landfill or potential destiny somewhere in Africa. I thought about the unknown makers and forgotten hands that held these fabrics before they arrived at my workshop. In many ways, the process of this creation has felt more important than its outcome. Until now, I have not embraced slowness into my practice in the same ways that I carry it through my personal life.
