Unruly Bodies
2023
40" x 60"
Block printed, embroidered, and quilted. Naturally and commercially dyed cotton and linen fabric, batting.
Unruly Bodies is a meditation on bodies that exist outside of contemporary capitalist expectations. Bodies which are fat, disabled, queer, unproductive, unable to be corralled into expected roles in society. It proposes we aspire to be snails, as they make their leisurely way through life, pausing to take the best bite of every strawberry, unbothered by your expectations. We are expansive and divine, and made in nature's image. The central panel is an homage to Leonard Nemoy's photograph Three Graces.
