Fictional Apocalypse (2025)

My ongoing research into disability and the post-apocalypse fueled several textile pieces and installations. These works complicate domesticity. Ordinary household objects, such as sheets, blankets, shopping lists and gloves, become close companions as well as friends overstaying their welcome in claustrophobic rooms. Blankets that were once intended to bring comfort, have now become a site of a never ending process of waiting and decaying as I lie down in bed.

 

The aesthetic of ruins and grief often found in the post-apocalypse is reduced to small recognizable objects that can’t help but feel personal. The broken link between signs and symbols becomes its own visual language used to explore my own unique relationship to my body.
