“A Brief History of Inequality in America”, questions why differential treatment and division among individuals continues to exist. Access to opportunity, the right to move freely, and the ability to make life choices is unequal. The work illustrates an optimistic progression of increasing access.
Containment
“Containment” illustrates a necessary physical restraint our society faced in 2020. As the interior is bursting out, a barrier is attempting to prevent transmission. Tension is seen as the form simultaneously illustrates a desire to connect with others & community health demands.
Textile Patterns: Birds in Flight
The textile patterns including “Birds in Flight” illustrate freedom.
(Im)mutability
Referencing traditional quilting squares, “(Im)mutability” upholds the beauty of textiles while shifting the typically soft forms to hard blocks that can be rearranged. The shift questions the permanence of comfort & belonging while showing that if one formation is lost, a new pattern can be created
Underpinning
“Underpinning” shows two iterations of a grid, one that is supported through connections and a second that has been stretched thin with no support, distorting the geometry. The work illustrates the consequences of social division and the lack of social support.
Birthright
“Birthright” consists of two similar forms, each with differences that are surface deep. Both are blue on one side & purple on the reverse, showing a division between them based on how they are viewed. One is elevated for no apparent reason, reflecting on social privilege & questioning inequality.
