LAUREL McMECHAN

Our lives are tapestries of memory and experience, altered and repaired over time. This work is inspired by the warp and weft of memory and the present. Paint squeezed through woven netting is a metaphor for the way memory and experiences fuse together. The combination of fabric, ribbon, thread, plastic and paint creates a patchwork of pattern, texture and personal symbolism. Embedded references and codes include signal flags, camouflage designs and military ribbons.
