The daily devotional

The daily devotional is the latest installment of ongoing experimentations with fiber technique, language, and ritual. An assemblage of photographs and intimate sewn works, the installation explored text, forms constructed by language, and traditional fiber work. Initially began as a reaction to the unusual circumstances of the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, the project continues as a record and investigation of repetition and permutation. Using a $1.25 mass-market paperback version of Michael Crichtonʼs Andromeda Strain, I perform daily repetitive acts cutting, quilting, pleating, reassembling and photographing pages into small works. This site-specific installation in the Lawndale stairway invites a close examination of the results of that ritual, creating an experience of repetitive action similar to the process of making.
