Provisional Comfort
Provisional Comfort reflects on how we show care and seek comfort in uncertain times. Drawing on domestic textile traditions, the artworks reference quilts and blankets, familiar objects of warmth and connection, often crafted from fabric scraps and worn clothing. This collection reconstructs these familiar forms using provisional materials: used tea bags, coffee filters, and coffee bags, everyday remnants tied to the rhythms of daily life and bearing traces of those who once used them. Some pieces are layered further with ink, rust, cyanotype, or natural dye, transforming materials discarded without a thought into objects that speak to memory, comfort, and a sense of home. These works often mimic the softness, movement, and familiarity of cloth while remaining fragile, impractical, and never meant to last.
