Plushieglyphs 1-5, 2021, upcycled fabrics, poly-fill, site-specific dimensions
In this series of hand-sewn soft sculptures, I draw influence from petroglyphs and hieroglyphs to create ‘plushieglyphs’, my interpretation of a new symbolic language rooted in comfort and softness. Utilizing symbols is a use of language and art that helps another, more desirable world, whether ancestral or parallel, shine through to influence humanity and it’s beings. The study of archetypal images, symbols, and sigils delimits us from contemporary identity representation and returns us to the ancestral influences and tools we need to rebuild the New Unsettled World.
