Prisons
Here are some photos from my new series on incarceration. Because I am a mixed media textile artist you will see a wide range of techniques and materials and even sizes. The last 4 images are from the 19 cells in the series, so are smaller than the other pieces. A 3D piece based on the first image - Receding Figures - is done (in collaboration with Steve Mandell, a fine art woodworker), and will be added to the posting when properly photographed. The second image is of a piece called Alcatraz based upon photographs I took on a visit there to see an Ai Wei Weir installation. The 2 large black pieces are (a much conflicted) homage to Alberto Burri when he was a POW in Hereford, Texas, during WW II. And the fourth piece, a detail shot, is in reference to 9/11. You can see all the work on my Behance Portfolio site at https://www.behance.net/FiberFly
