A Largely Distorted yet Surprisingly Ordered Map of Regular Irregularities:
A Dense Description of The Present Day History of The Future
1.95x9.5m double cloth knitted tapestry, Wool and Cotton
The universal skies have cracked open to spill out the gross and gruesome realities of everyday life, where the stupidly absurd banalities of our spectacularly short existence on the rock we have named earth play out.
I present to you a cheerful portrayal of us, them, you, me, the world, the cosmos. Step onto the satirical stairways of barbaric dreamlands in the blasphemous hellscape of ever-increasing chaos. But beware: Dread is lurking in all this delight.
This project was created collaboratively with the TextielLab in Textielmuseum Tilburg.
