Uncovering hidden codes embedded within the cloth. If you look for the South Asian Queer, they are there, right under the surface, breaking the the pattern of uniformity.. smattering red across the canvas, your threads tumbling, tangling against the conforming pattern... Speeding and searing across the cloth.
I see you.
"This is Just a Piece of Cloth" was shown at A Collection of Dangerous ideas, as part of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas.
The exhibtion had paintings, protest art, ceramics, photography, cartoons, video, and textile art.. All peices of work aimed to challenge the status quo of how we see the world, and therefore be perceived as a Dangerous Idea, an idea that speaks out, away from the norm.
