comfort zone

comfort zone

Comfort Zone considers narratives in parallel, seeking to draw together stories and side-line differences. The works looks at relationships between individual experiences and society, and between nature and industry through pattern, material, and sensorial experience. Hand woven natural palm raffia, party detritus, tinsel and wool build up a tapestry divided into three sections, though the linear narrative is only legible from behind. There, we embark on a cyclical tale which travels from a cry for help, through surrender and then repentance, before starting over. One might consider how this loop could be applied to a crop, a night of the dancefloor or a lover. It resonates with ritual, religion, and protest. This piece observes the islands of the world then proposes threads which can weave between all of them. Perhaps experiences are more pooled than they seem. When the work is viewed from the front, the materiality renders the linear narrative illegible. The ambiguity leaves us with a shared sensorial experience, drawing reference from smell and touch; elements which unite rather than divide.
