This was a group show in May 2019 at the 106 Gallery downtown Grand Rapids. The show included Calvin students as well as students from Michigan State University.

​

My project was titled "How Do You Feel?" originated from a personal project in which I tracked my emotions linearly throughout the day. I then transferred these fluctuating lines to cut out pieces of plastic bags via embroidery. For this show I asked some friends of mine to also track their emotions.

 

I chose plastic bags because I felt they best represented the fragility of emotions as they have an incredibly soft and constant movement. I chose white embroidery because emotions are not always able to be seen; at some angles of the piece you have to look close to see the white on white distinction. Instead of calling it a wall of emotions, I consider it as more of a blanket of emotions. Ever fluctuating and always present.
