Awards & Rewards, thread, synthetic flowers and foliage, 2015.
Awards & Rewards, is a series of textile based sculptures created with found synthetic flowers collected from a cemetery located in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The flowers and foliage were collected through the course of a year from discarded areas found throughout the cemetery. The flowers are often times reassembled and stitched onto other found flowers and foliage to create blanket-like assemblages that drape off the wall with a multitude of “unfinished” threads that secure the flowers onto each other.
