Domestic Mimicry
2023, felt, 28"x8"x4"
Domestic Mimicry nests contradiction within its seams—an organism of felt that mimics the anatomy of both home and host. Its soft architecture recalls rib and root, claw and cradle, a body evolving under the weight of intimate ecosystems. Hand-sewn to simulate structure, the work defies the expectation of collapse, instead suggesting a held breath or a poised transformation. It speaks in the language of adaptation: how tenderness becomes armor, how the domestic learns to survive itself. Here, mimicry is not disguise but devotion—a learned behavior in response to exposure.
