Bows, Braids, Daisies, Jeans, Roses, Suns
2021

It is a makeshift “quilt” made from cutting up and gluing a stack of plastic bags I have bought at the markets in Georgia. Some have reworked traditional Georgian motifs printed on them, ornaments such as braids or suns, others have more Soviet postcard style imagery of flowers or bows. It’s a recycled mash up of estranged, floating symbols with some marker help from my three year old son.
