UnRavelling
Moving back and forth between the intimate scale of hand-stitching into fabric and paper, and working to actual scale, encompassing the world and the whole body; I map and remap, trace and retrace my steps around New York City.
It begins with a simple daily practice – recording every path I walk and each bus, subway and taxi taken over 35 days, and stitching these into a handkerchief map of 1836 New York City. Explorations by design and chance see this develop into a multifaceted mapping project. The thread and handkerchief are replaced by 410 feet of rope and the streets, where I map to scale in a Sisyphean process of rolling and unravelling; crossing media, scale, time, continents and town.
UnRavelling relates my experience traversing between regional NSW and New York City; and explores this intersection through diverse threads in a methodical practice – encompassing (but not limited to) painting, drawing, sewing, performance, video, repetitive laborious processes, humour, everyday activities, and place-making.
