sourced used clothing, aluminum, projection
96" x 96"
Sourced used clothing, sewn with a 1966 Singer sewing machine inherited from my grandmother, forms a large "screen" for an abstract video of garments tumbling in slow motion inside a dryer. The vibrant colors of the clothing create a deceptive beauty, masking the darker reality of the fast fashion cycle. The accompanying sounds — a haunting blend of ker-klunk, scraping, and squealing, serve as an ominous commentary on the industry’s relentless churn.
