ARTWORK STATEMENT:

A work about relationships with time and the effects of the sun and natural forces. A repetitive, converging pattern was sewn into the fabric and then placed on a rooftop in Pacifica California and left there for 6 months. The start of the 6 month exposure process began on Sunday October 13th, 2019- the harvest moon, and was completed/harvested March 9th, 2020- a supermoon. Upon harvest, the fabric was washed, thread removed, stretched, sewn and painted into.
