Recovered Relics

Recovered Relics, 2009, Handwoven Cloth/Pickup, Linen, Cotton, Bamboo, Tencel

These are a few small pieces I wove as part of my final project for the semester. Following my thematic interest in folktales and anthropology, these pieces serve as personal and false relics of unknown origin. They are pieces of cultural significance without a culture, precious without historical purpose.
