Alexis Stiteler creates hand drawn garments.

I once heard that every time you recall a memory you lose the reality of what the original event was. My work explores this idea by gathering and abstracting objects collected from my experiences by drawing on textiles and paper.

My work is heavily built on my compulsions : think repetition. I have a tendency to over think and re-evaluate, and the method by which I make creates soothing routine and predictability. I draw using aqueous paint which lends itself well to playing with light and density with each crosshatched image. As I recall and render these objects, I celebrate the past and how it becomes abstracted and made new by the passage of time.

Diana Scherer II

 

It is 10 years since I first featured the work of Diana Scherer, in the last decade she has been perfecting her root weaving and growing many textile forms from different managed root growth.

“A root navigates, knows what is up and down, perceives gravity and can locate moisture and chemicals. Roots are incredibly strong. In their search for food and space they fight for every space they can find. I use this strength to create my work. I expose the subterranean life and natural network turns into a textile-like material. The dynamism of the plant makes it seem as if the work is making itself.

I have learned to deal with the autonomy of nature. Despite my intervention, the outcome is unpredictable every time. The interaction of control and letting go is an important element in my work.” – Diana Scherer

 

Pim Van Nunen

"19 innocent children killed in time of peace. Some children had just made the honour roll. Two of the girls played basketball together on a team called the Spurs. One boy loved soccer and dancing with his brothers at home. The names of those slain by a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex. emerged in the days after, as the grief-stricken community tried to process what happened. Family and close friends shared a last message for the ones they loved so much. Messages that only mean a lot for who they’re written for. So I created kites to carry some of the messages way up high in the hope they would get close enough for the children to read them. Here’s a kite for Nevaeh Bravo 10, one for Layla Salazar 10 and one for Maranda Mathis 11." Pim Van Nunen
