Spin Club Tapestry | 2018-Present
Spin Club Tapestry explores personal and cultural memory, inspired by the tradition of spin clubs in my village in Northern Germany. My compositions take the form of tapestries, combining images of embroidered spin club fabrics with new and old photographs from the village. I connect the present, past, and future by re-creating and re-imagining pieces of the embroidery. By following the stitches, I follow a path through the lives of my ancestors - their layout of a perfect pattern and the mistakes they made. Along the way, I add my own mistakes. The patterns I have stitched myself into the paper are only abstractions of the original designs and represent fragments of memory.
Images are archival pigment prints with hand-sewn embroidery.
