Fishnets

2022-2026
Lacis, Mending and Weaving on Vintage Fishnet Stockings

The day that Roe vs. Wade was overturned in 2022, I began to weave the pixelated portraits of sexual offenders and white male supremacists into a pair of vintage fishnet stockings. This process has been a meditation on resistance as well as a tool for imagining a more autonomous existence. Years have passed while I worked in solitude on these stockings, as the politicians, CEOs, and individuals from my personal life who deserve to be captured are slowly revealed. When justice fails, artists must affect change with the skills and materials at hand.
