Part of the series, Soft Body.

Soft Body is a collection of textile paintings made from second hand fabric dyed with colors extracted from plants and food waste. Each piece is an exploration of stripping the quilt form of its function while manipulating shapes and color to reflect on the various aspects of occupying a human body. An abstract representation of energy in its varied forms of travel through heat, tears, sound, and light as it temporarily grounds us to earth.

Dyed with black walnuts, fustic wood, logwood, and iron.
