Anchor/Cradle
2012
steel, hand-printed cotton, wool blanket
Sometimes you expect things from and are disappointed by the people closest to you, neglecting to acknowledge the gifts they have offered you. Conversely you may perceive that you have nothing to offer, failing to recognize what you have already given. In its failure to rest itself Anchor encompasses this dichotomy, redeeming its story by offering itself as a Cradle.
Anchor/Cradle began as a sculpture made up of steel and fabric which I printed with line drawings by my family, and has grown into an ongoing project including personal performative interventions.
