leather garment labels, vinyl lacing—dimensions variable
Changing with each installation, this work is one of a series of pieces made from a vast inventory of unused commercial materials, salvaged from a single textile industry storeroom in downtown El Paso, Texas. Lacing thousands of small, leather labels into lines evokes the mountainous West Texas landscape, migratory patterns, and the tumultuous earnings and losses of global industry.
