glitch-woven cotton and tencel, with polyester trim and grommets
31 x 58 inchesInspired by Pamela Colman Smith’s death flag, the tudor rose is replaced by a shadowy figure of seashell fragments. The shells were drawn from observation and printed with dye onto yarn that was carefully measured in order for the image to be reconstructed at the loom.
The flag is a call to witness, to spend time in attention, with the latin “ECCO” the command, “behold.” It’s also a homonym for “echo” and “eco-.”
The exhalations AH and HA—pain and pleasure—create a subtle pattern that reverses from left to right and front to back. This text is coded into the structure of the cloth.
