Artist’s Statement: This is a free-verse text piece made from two-layered pages, stitched together by hand. The top layer is printed on tracing paper, allowing the text to hover and overlap rather than settle in a single place. The stitching holds the layers in relation while leaving space between them.
Because I am autistic, I often find adult friendships difficult to navigate. This work responds to a new friendship where that difficulty falls away; the figure pictured is my friend.
Some of the language remains partially hidden, mirroring the way relationships unfold through time.
