to stitch; a thread or line that holds things together- this is the literal translation of the ancient sanskrit word "sutra". in the "healing sutras" i use contemporary embroidery on antique fabric as a canvas to explore the common threads that bind countless generations of women. wounds - both physical and psychological - are given life using delicate, meditative stitches. traditionally thought of as "woman's work", sewing is a time consuming and contemplative process, each thoughtfully considered stitch becoming integral to the whole.
process:
God enters through the wound”
new beginnings.... feeling the need for something "gentler"
to gasp for air. it's so stunningly beautiful-
that i have to share it with the world.
it's captivating, hauntingly beautiful, delicate,
organic, subtle, memories, threads, mended,
comely, cloth, antique + inspirational.
erin is having a solo show in new york city @ the White
Rabbit-opening friday october 1st. this is a link for the show http://artanagnorisis.wordpress.com/.

process:
God enters through the wound”
-CJ Jung
Antique fabrics, clothing and linens
My dowry passed down through generations
My history woven into this cloth
A fine cotton tablecloth
Lovingly mended by my great-grandmother
Becomes a little girl’s dress
Delicate cloth
Beautifully worn and threadbare
Stained by an artist’s hand
Walnut ink flowing into complex organic shapes
Subtleties of value, depth
Bringing the wound to life
Lost in the meditation of stitching
Repetition, contemplation
From within the fabric
Memories reveal themselves
Stitches, like words
The story grows
Lines graceful, unfurling
Drawing with thread
The Healing begins
new beginnings.... feeling the need for something "gentler"thank you erin...

you'll meet her...
you’ll meet her, she’s very pretty, even though
sometimes she’s sad for many days at a time.
you’ll see, when she smiles, you’ll love her.

new landscapes
happiness does not come from seeking new landscapes,
but from having new eyes
on the same life you’ve always been living

intends to look at materials in new ways. the wooden
carpet can lay flat on the floor, but can also
be playfully positioned due to it's flexible form.
a flexible lampshade which can be transformed manually in three-dimensional ways.
thermochromics translate a temperature- change into a colour-change.
she also thinks about the radiator as an everyday object. through the colour change of the patterns it is told that the radiator is turned on or off. smart + environmental friendly- i love

unlimited space
spanish architect hector ruiz-valazquez , has transformed the attic space of an early 20th century building in madrid, into a new living space with a variety of levels. with — on the floor, the walls + even the ceiling white ceremic tiles. incredible, but who's doing the cleaning? to move around in few square meters at different heights, going up + down: to explore the space. the transition between the rooms is continuous + lets the movement flow freely across the numerous levels.
