Hemline

Part of an ongoing series that began in 2019 during a month-long open studio in Queens, Hemline was made by placing individual garments on a work table and rubbing their textures, seams, and hems onto paper using encaustic and watercolor crayons. Rather than illustrating clothing, the work captures its physical memory through impression. Like others in the series, this piece translates the tactile language of textiles into a visual meditation on the traces we leave behind.
