Sexypink - Barbadian Artist | Annalee Davis on her Pray to Flowers – A Plot of Disalienation, my site-specific installation produced by the Sharjah Art Foundation for the SB15.“Pray to Flowers – A Plot of Disalienation, my site-specific installation produced by the Sharjah Art Foundation for the SB15 runs till June 11.

Barbadian Artist Annalee Davis working on one of her pieces in the exhibition

This post focuses on the attached interior space mirroring the densely layered garden.These embroidered panels acknowledge British sewing traditions Barbadian women inherited over centuries. Practiced across races & classes, their habitual utilization of the needle & thread instilled notions of what it meant to be feminine. Pre-approved imagery, stitches, & colours replicated across samplers trained middle- and upper-class women into becoming submissive housewives abiding by the church’s teachings & moral codes of respectability. Conversely, Pray to Flowers disregards the restricted range of carefully taught stitches, colour combinations, & sanctioned subject matter.

Rather, these works interweave crochet, applique, & embroidery addressing more indelicate discourse such as the impact of mono-crop farming & the plantation on today’s climate crisis. Amalgamating time-honoured stitches with fabricated ones, 100-year-old cutwork embroidery intermingles with contemporary so-called ‘African’ print fabrics worn at Barbados’ Crop Over festival. Merging pale pink crochet pieces & machine-made lace, this mash-up of fabrics, threads, & traditions acknowledges the creolization inherent in the formation of post-independent Barbados.

Instead of producing decorative works for the living room or dressing tables, – prescribed domains of women – these tapestries link the plantation with the 6th extinction. Cyanotypes of local botanicals growing in my garden acknowledge native flora rather than bluebells and cockleshells found in the embroidered tablecloths of my mother’s generation, fashioned on prescribed patterns they were fabricated. Satin-stitched phrases” advocate the worship of flowers, and our need to unlearn the plantation & defend nature.”- Annalee Davis

Colorful clumps of flowers, crochet leaves and layers of woven gems are what first catch the eye in artist Ebony G. Patterson’s new tapestries, which make their debut next month at Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago. But take a closer look at the group of impressively large floor pieces, each measuring around eight feet wide and over six feet long, and you’ll find disturbing forces within the works.

Hm. I am like... actively getting severely distressed and worked up about this assignment and I think the reason why is Significantly deeper than just "there aren't enough instructions". Like so much deeper I almost don't even wanna post about it. We live in a society bottom text

#like. the whole point of public art is engaging a community and bringing it together #and the whole point of it being site-specific is that it's special to the people from That Community #and the problem with that is that I don't feel like I actually have a community I can call my own.#I don't know anything abt the history of this city. I don't know anyone up here. it's just another place I don't fully fit in.#but my home city's community has always been actively hostile to me and I'm in a different city to get a break from my abusers so I #don't have any pull to want to contribute something to that community either.#im just here. with noone and nowhere to call home.#how am I supposed to design an art installation for a group of people who I know nothing about and who don't even know I exist?#like it's just really hammering home out Out Of Place I am. how much I don't belong anywhere. how unimportant I am to the world around me #idk if im articulating this properly. but I'm just like. it's a lot. and it's a lot more than I was expecting #armchair speaks
