Patriarchal Tension

$500.00

Patriarchal Tension, 20x36, September 2022, commercial and upcycled textiles

“u just be minding ur business and here comes a man" I laughed with recognition and relief at this Tweet because i secretly worry it’s just me who keeps falling for it when i’m being thrown under the bus. How many times has this described my life as a femme in relationship with the Patriarchy? Since my dad died, i am often forced to examine our tension now that it has gone slack. When my sewing machine's tension also gave out, I created this concenptual art piece as I turned to my quilting community for advice on how to fiddle with it until it stitched true again. Dimensional elements preserve mistakes made in the mending.
