Fire Tapestry
2022
Textiles, clothing tags, glass beads
12.5 x 14in 2022
This small tapestry was made from clothing tags and displayed on fabric from a recycled shirt. The work features fire embroidery accentuated with glass beads. Constant threat of wildfire has become an unfortunate reality for many environments, including the ones in California, which I have inhabited since birth. My depiction of flames in a decorative style tackles the themes of opulence and waste, and how they are often two sides of the same coin. It also draws on waste disposal methods and and the ever-looming presence of climate change.
