i never wanted you 

Evoking both strength and fragility through materials and construction, i never wanted you conveys a willing vulnerability. Sewn from crumpled printer paper, its patchwork of images comprises aged wallpapered interiors and me, half naked, gazing out. Its pattern copied from a quilt my mom made, the one I’ve always stared at, transfixed. A pool of black ink absorbs into the paper. The structure remains, the images consumed.
