INSTALLATION, GROWING SPACE, 2020
This installation is intended to revert the viewer away from the Corona frenzy. The print itself stems from my degree show project which was inspired by how vandalism is beautiful, especially in reference to the vandalisation of a number of colonial statues in the USA in 2016 and again in the UK in 2020 as a response to BLM protests.
It presents itself as a spectacle of exotic plants in a botanical garden like the Q Gardens London, and so the way these textiles look is as though they are trying to get out. An organic cluster of jackets is the final product.
Big thank you to Ecological Textiles Netherlands for supporting this project with beautiful Materials so for Stitching NAC - Kamiel Verschuren curating this exhibition and also big thank you to Growing Space Wielewaal for the space opportunity.
