Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

I create large scale, temporal installations made of paper, fabric and light, that challenge our preconceived notions of fragility, power and the ways in which we occupy space. My installations take the forms of alcoves or pathways, hung intuitively from ceilings and walls to embrace the viewer. The disorienting use of light, combined with the softness of the fabric, create a totally immersive experience that can transport people out of their own world, into a space where they can allow themselves to feel tender. My pieces are rebellions against the politics of hard power. I am contradicting the notion that space should be taken up with brute force, and instead positing that we need to make room for fragility.

When inviting viewers into my works, I am asking them to suspend their disbelief and their frustrations, and instead to be still, for a few moments.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

Fiber art has always been considered women’s work, and never fully respected. It was seen as frivolous or silly. But, darning, a traditional mending practice, fixes what is broken. Darning a sweater is a way of imbibing it with it love- you are putting your energy into something to ensure it lasts. This practice is a rejection of consumerist culture; I

would rather fix something that I already own than buy more things. In the end, I am creating something stronger, more beautiful and more loved than when I found it. Throughout my residency I will be searching for ways to bring darning into the cityscape. New York is the most expensive city in the world, but it’s infrastructure is failing. By putting darned works throughout the boroughs I am offering up a reminder that we can help mend the world around us. This work is inspired by both graffiti artists and traditional weavers.
