family ties

refurbished hutch, wall piece, and placemat using hand-woven fabric

2025

Family is composed of linear, simultaneous, but never consistent timelines. Where I cross, so do you, where I am absent you pick up right where we left off, and I get to marvel at the beauty of it all. As an ode to my family, this hutch and its components are made of a warp and weft to represent my parents and the weft is composed of the colors that represent my siblings and I. One strand does not create a unified cloth without the help of the others, we are inextricably interlaced and forever tied together.
