Melting Pot, 2022

In anthropology, textile and print have continually evolved and signify how different cultures, groups, and individuals clothed themselves and decorate their surroundings. Pattern making is an embodied practice that produces connections between the local and the global, the individual and the collective, and aesthetics and identities.
This series uses patterns commonly found in textiles to explore the “Melting Pot” of cultures and the generations of work it takes to become one.
