titem #18

This “titem” is the 18th discarded fabric contributed to the artist’s 2024 project “to you, 100 years into the future”. In this project, participants were invited to actively reflect upon our existing belongings and revisit sewing as a time-honored practice towards emotional healing. They were asked to bring 1 item to repair and 1 item to “discard” or contribute to a collective fabric stew, to be turned into a soft sculpture at the end of the workshop series. The final sculpture installation takes form as a set of plush “household items” arranged in an intimate living room setting. Each discarded textile is given a character to play—a bowl, a table, a monitor, a potted plant, a teacup—within this newly constructed home.
