Daydreaming Lure

This work is investigating the notions of identity and occupation of space. I’ve been researching the impact of layering material and images to reflect on questions that don’t have a clear and simple resolution. This piece is exploring the possibilities of the net structure in the context of invisible labour in the domestic life. This installation is presenting the juxtaposition of an infinite repeating netting pattern on a flat, woven and dyed surface. The installation offers three cells which the viewer can enter, observe, experience. The space offers the potential for calm and comfort contrasting with the image of the net and its many dimensions.

Materials: Linen and cotton sheets, MX dyes, vinyl sulfon, clear bases inks, metal, nylon, steel rings

Installation: VAV Gallery, Montreal, 2019
