Making Twilight Off The Bow

I invited friends to my studio to wrap yarn, recycled sari thread, ribbon onto cotton rope. 
5 people imbued their essence and became a part of the rope, as we discussed the trials and tribulations of our hair.
Finding a common denominator amongst us all, HAIR.

Some days all I do is cut and fluff fabric. Layer Some days all  I do is cut and fluff fabric. Layers of repetitive piece work come together each time I revisit my stockpile of treasures tucked away in clear plastic bins. Materiality and imprinted memory are magic.

Get your face mask cleaned, ironed and filter changed for our in person art opening, “Privilege, Power and Everyday Life”. 😁 Sunday, January 17 from 2 to 4:30pm at our gallery.  A ZOOM reception and curator talk will be on Thursday, January 21 at 7PM. 🖼 “Privilege, Power and Everyday Life” features artwork that encourages dialog about implicit bias and stereotypes. Our hope is to make the invisible, visible as a path towards a more inclusive culture. https://www.studiomontclair.org
