It Continues (2026)

The piece begins with a damaged utilitarian jute panel, worn through by use, reinforced, and worn again: an existing patch standing as evidence of a repair too weak to hold. The intervention does not attempt to cover or resolve what has failed. Blunt and disregarding hand enbroidered lines pass through areas of wear and repair alike, acting as witness without response. They introduce another duration into a surface already enduring, without aligning themselves to any prior event in the cloth's history.

This cloth arrives as a globalised material: the kind of utilitarian textile that moves across borders without cultural specificity attached, bought and used and worn out and discarded. That displacement forms part of what the material holds. The cloth's origins are not the subject. What was done with it, what was done to it, and what has remained after that use has finished, is.
