Spin Cycle

Spin Cycle is a drawing series exploring fabric as a vessel for memory, absence and emotional transformation. We instinctively look at clothing to decipher status, identity and power, but those signals have become unreliable in an era where billionaires wear hoodies and meetings on Zoom hides sweatpants. If clothing no longer conveys status, what does it communicate now?

Rendered in graphite and charcoal, each drawing captures the way that fabric folds, drapes, or defies gravity. The outfit becomes less about representing a person, and more about the residue of presence.

These drawings are rooted in personal experiences of revelation and memories: a work uniform on a bed that revealed my mom’s new boyfriend before she did, or an office chair that holds the absence of camaraderie I once had in a 9-to-5 job. There’s loss in these pieces, but I also want to bring in humor. This is about what fabric represents when the humans are missing.
