diptych, 2017
screen printed dye on cotton and tencel
diptych, each panel 30 x 38 inchesThis piece uses weaving as a way to dissolve. I screen printed my image onto a single length of yarn, carefully measured out, and then wove that yarn onto a warp of a slightly different measure. Like a decoder ring set to the wrong letter, the meaning was garbled. This picture of me, a transla- tion, reveals a different cadence, a rhythm almost like pattern. I am rearranged. A hide tattooed in code, my inside-out skin is no longer a sovereign border. The only wounds are exit wounds.
