Lashes
2019
Custom-printed fleece blanket, scrap fabric, fake eyelashes, rhinestones, tassels, trim, adhesive, grommets
50"x60"
Lashes utilizes a mass-produced blanket that was custom-printed with an intimate photo-collage of my own selfies in a checkerboard pattern. Soft red and pink fabrics, decorative textile scraps, and single-use beauty products designed to temporarily ‘enhance’ women’s bodies are built up around this pattern. Lashes aims to critique the absurd cultural canons of beauty and femininity in the US, and the cycles of consumption and waste that fuel those industries.
