DUST TO DUST<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

At times, I feel a growing need to understand the notion of undoing<\/em>. Can we undo our actions, the damage we cause to the world, our self-evident comfort, our privilege? Not in the literal sense of a Ctrl-Z, but as an exploration of what undoing might mean.<\/p>\n

In attempting to understand this, I began experimenting with making and unmaking\u2014dust to dust\u2014as a repetitive, physical process. It is an effort to cultivate embodied knowledge, to work through dualisms by approaching making and unmaking not as opposites, but as different perspectives of the same continuum\u2014much like nature and culture, or male and female\u2014without seeking immediate resolution.\u00a0 In my first experiment, I unraveled my own project: a woolen carpet I had knitted from industrial textile waste. It took weeks to make, yet only a few hours to unmake. This process felt like undoing self-evident comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n
