Los Angeles Aerial #3: Psychogeography of the crazy quilt (in the fashion of Jackson Pollock)men's neckties, hand-dyed fabrics, thread and yarn on canvas
2007
3'x 4'
This piece is made up mostly of men's neckties that I wove into a thick fabric, hand-stitched together with other hand-dyed fabrics, cut into squares, reconstructed into a grid, stitched to canvas and drew over with machine stitching. I invested months of meandering, free-associative stitching into this painting / crazy quilt. Both the long process and the final form reflect my personal response to / map of the flows and restrictions of everyday life (daily driving) in Los Angeles.
