The Carriers series, dimension variable, plastic bags hand-stitched onto fabric, 2014-2018
The Carriers is a series of sewn plasticized urban silhouettes of people. The figures are sometimes photographed on the street or are inspired by found images that I manipulate or re-enact. The bodies of the figures merge with their surrounding and with the objects they carry, bordering on abstraction. I transform these urban characters that are a part of our daily life into new entities weighed down by their load, but who also bear possible new narratives.
