Portfolio > Labor Deconstructed

I use two fabrics in this series, denim from jeans worn by my uncle to work on the farm and a deconstructed family apron from my mother. The imagery juxtaposes the unseen domestic labor done by women that supports men working in the industrial role. This contrast creates a dialogue between the labor of home and the structures that often render it invisible. Arranging the uniform squares in a grid references the ideas of a quilt that I use to represent care for the family as well as land.
