I’m excited to share my flag installation with Unrequited Leisure that will be flying outside of the Packing Plant in Nashville for the month of December. The flag is unfixed indigo dye on cotton and I will be documenting how the piece changes over the month, which you can follow along on my Instagram.
Reflecting on changing times
When life feels overwhelming, my mother always says, “this too shall pass”. The saying has become rather loaded for me - on one hand, it is a reminder that the dark times will be behind you, but on the other, it reminds us that our memories will someday fade.
The phrase has been on loop for me recently, as I have been struggling with change and feeling secure. My December flag pays homage to my current transitional state and represents the fleeting nature of our existence. Created using indigo dye on cotton, the piece is meant to change over the course of the volatile winter weather. It will eventually tatter, shrink, bleed and fade away. Yet in spite of being less equipped for this environment, it will still fly. It may look different, but perhaps by weathering the storms, it will become even more beautiful.
My hope is that the flag offers solace to those passing by and reminds them that all of our experiences, both good and bad, accumulate to create a beautiful existence.
