Size varies according to installation
This installation focuses on the cellular form found throughout the body, inviting the viewer to inhabit the space it creates with their own body. I created this installation by hand-dyeing fabric cells and stitching them together to form an encapsulating environment that surrounds the viewer. My work invites the viewer to step into the womb-like environment and explore it through touch and bodily movements.In my work, I explore the microscopic cellular world and make it tangible for an audience through the medium of textiles. Often, I take inspiration from the beauty of histology slides and the complex forms found under the microscope. I translate these microscopic images into tactile textile works to be explored through touch.The process of making this body of work was similar to nest-building; I gradually sewed together the cells to form this architectural structure, which only comes to life when suspended at a height. The work changes depending on the space it inhabits and responds differently to each new space.
