Ribbon House
2018
Scrap wood, ribbon, beads
Dimensions vary
Ribbon House subverts the traditional understanding of ribbons and beads as frivolous and gendered decorative objects. Instead of hardware or glue, ribbons are wrapped and woven through the scrap wood to bind them together, and knotted with beads at each end like anchors. This piece was part of a two-person exhibition at the Arlington Arts Center (Arlington, VA) in 2018. Exhibition statement below. See more images from this exhibition here.
