In Sewing Kit, the dark loose thread, decorated with spirals, pins, and marbles, winds around the frame of the paper; the object, in my eyes, stems from the Greek myth of the three fates. The trio are godly old crones who could weave and snip a thread to begin or end someone’s life.
Recently, I took a trip to Los Angeles and stayed with my mother. We spent the days having a coffee on her front stoop, running errands, book hunting, and carting things home from the farmers market; This was a sudden recreation of my Florida childhood acted out in the many sprawling blocks of LA.
While cutting up these new apples, I thought of the sinking and darkening areas of the skin if gone uneaten, and I thought of keeping the doctor away. How the fruit is a referent to health and we can see the apple disappearing. I thought about the same way we prefer to have things in the kitchen, how we look down with the same eyes.
