WALK ALL OVER ME
Textiles

Screen printed linen
This floor piece is intended to be walked on by viewers. This is done so by being placed in the middle of a gallery space. All of the fabrics used in this work are archived screenprints that feature images from a previous relationship. In order to heal from our experiences, we must put them literally below us to move forward. By letting others WALK ALL OVER ME, I invite conversation on power dynamics not only in intimate relationships but in a gallery space as well. Over the course of the week, the artwork was on display, it collected dirt and footprints as intentional mark-making. We are all abused over time and this textile work is no exception.
