32 x 42”

Secondhand synthetic red fabric alongside cochineal+madder root dyed second hand fabric. Handmade Pom poms with secondhand yarn.

Inspired by artist Beth Hoeckel’s collage, Someone Else.

By recreating the blanket in Beth’s collage I imagined crossing generations of artist’s intentions. From the original knitter of the blanket, to it being used in the photo shoot for the magazine that then Beth cut out of and used in a new context for her collage.

By bringing the blanket back into the real and tangible world and suspending it in a similar fashion from the photograph, the motley pattern is highlighted which invokes the jester.

A free floating joke.
