Brittle
“Brittle” was made for the Prism Textiles exhibition in 2022. It was inspired by osteoporosis, a disease caused by loss of bone mass, changing the structure of bone tissue. It’s called a silent disease because there are typically no symptoms until a bone breaks or one or more vertebrae collapse. By using traditional lace weaving techniques on real bones, I evoked the fragility and vulnerability of this troubling condition.
