This drawing was made by placing second-hand clothing directly onto my work table and rubbing their seams with encaustic and watercolor crayon. The marks transfer the material memory of the garments, capturing their shapes and revealing the traces left by their wearers. The surface is polyester drafting film, chosen for its buttery texture and full archival quality. This piece was created during a month-long pop-up open studio in Queens, where the public was invited to witness and engage with the daily process. More about this in the Journal.
