Project: “Apron As Artifact”
My new body of work uses the form of the apron as a cultural artifact and as a symbol of domestic constraint and personal resilience. Each piece is to be built from unconventional materials - from stitched paper imprinted with evidence of violence, shell casings, hybridized quilt fragments with portraits of women, translucent acrylic sheets ghosting women whose accomplishments disappear from history, and more - to explore how women’s labor and identities are shaped and carried. Each piece transforms a familiar domestic object into a site of tension - between protection and confinement, visibility and erasure. Together, they examine how women’s labor, visibility, and histories are carried, worn, and sometimes imposed.
