Beneath Wall Art I wanted it to feel

I wanted it to feel compact and substantial

and signs of wear from the people who owned them before

Carry Through transforms a pair of vintage French chore pants in black moleskin with repairs unlike any I had seen before

The other is plainer

and other marks left by the people who used these books before

Beneath Wall Art I wanted it to feelBeneath came together from many Japanese boro fragments, including a long noragi jacket from the 1800s that I deconstructed. I peeled back layers on several of the pieces to see what was underneath. I was especially excited when I found the fabric with the three faces. I had never come across a print like that before. It was a nice surprise. Beneath was made in 2024 and measures 43" wide x 44" high x 2" deep. It's stretched on premium Museo ALU frame
