moldy fruits
meditations on + celebrations of aging, decomposition, wild processes of transformation, rot, decay. wearable weavings and woven sculptural objects, plus velvet printed stickers and printed textile assemblages... an ongoing series, full of works in progress and dissolution.
moldy fruit assemblages
(left to right)
orange ruins i mixed fibers, iron ring, rust, pistachio shells, safety pins
orange ruins ii mixed fibers, clay, olive stones, vintage loom box
orange ruins iii mixed fibers, clay
lemon ruins i mixed fibers, thread, pistachio shells, clay
Bodies change, die, and disappear, leaving only echoes and traces. The sensuousness of fruits and their soft growths of mold mirror this process. Inspired by Natural History Museum displays, four assemblages laid atop a plinth present textured handwoven sculptures that emulate molding oranges and lemons. These sculptures are paired with clay imprints of citrus skin and olive stones- remnants that could be found at an archaeological site.
