Modular Felt Bags, 2002
Felt.

Bags from the Modular Series are made of interlocking die-cut units using a modular textile system. The modules are attached to one another without the use of sewing, stitching, glue or any other attachment method. They are interconnected based on the design of the individual units. This series expresses the idea that clothing, textiles and accessories can be dynamic. The series is designed without seams, allowing the pieces to be taken apart and altered. In practice, the process may be tangent to that of recycling in the sense that as one’s desire changes, the object can be changed to create a new form or new function. A bag can be made smaller, a skirt can be lengthened or a wallpiece can be altered to fit new dimensions of space as we change our built environment or move to a new location. Moreover, a wallpiece can be made into bags and other items; the possibilities are infinite like a never-ending game of lego. Just like in a lego set, there are special modules, that become the handles of bags or brims of hats and attach to the regular repeating units. Individual units can also be replaced when they have worn through instead or replacing the whole item. Felt is specifically suited for these designs because it does not fray when cut and can retain very geometric precision.
Presented in Grafted (After a Fashion), solo exhibition, 69a Gallery, San Francisco, CA.
