text reads: What happens when your body is so tired of fighting this battle that surfaces under the cover of the night. The stars that faithfully align and try to teach me how to walk in line out of the door. One foot in front of the other and try not to direct the steps of others. In line with what came before and whatever lies ahead. The lies that fill the head and the bed that wishes they were true. Our feet so tangled in the bed sheets of failed redemption. 

Our Feet So Tangled In The Bed Sheets Of Failed Redemption embodies the artists’ experience and celebrates the female body as a carrier of knowledge, vulnerability and resilience.

The natural material, barkcloth, is made by beating strips of fibrous inner bark into sheets. It carries signs of wear, in the same way that our gendered bodies carry our history through actions inflicted through choice or coercion.
