Underbelly
Chickenwire, Metal Rod, Textiles
March 2020
8ftx6ftx5ft
This work was created using a welded metal frame which I installed with chicken wire, and hung textiles that were sourced from scrap fabric, unwanted clothing items, and yarn sourced from thrift stores. The piece was influenced by underwater scenery, such as coral reefs and tidepools. I wanted to explore how oftentimes as humans, we witness natural ecosystems through photography, but are unable to fully explore them without damaging them. I created this work to be tactile and inviting to viewers, and when I displayed it to the public, encouraged viewers to touch and engage with the piece.
