Item description

A mix of fabrics and textiles on canvas. The top portion of the canvas is a dark and light blue piece of fabric, separated into waves by black thread. As the fabric leads down, the waves become separated by strips of red, white, and blue woven fabric. The bottom portion has patches of white textured fabric, with colorful green and orange fabrics in the bottom right corner. Bunched up on the white textured fabric are nine frayed, multicolored string pom poms.

Constance W Collins

I use my artistic voice as a platform for speaking to our current times. This allows me to address issues close to my heart while creating beautiful art for someone. I use my fabrics as metaphors to address the environmental damage caused by the textile and fashion industries. Or in the case of Pandemic Isolation Blues and Viral Over Virile I used my fabrics to address the stress and traumas that surrounded many of us during Covid-19.

I use my fabrics as others use paints & inks. Disrupting the natural order of the fabric by cutting it to create something new is simultaneously exhilarating and scary. When finished, I achieve a kaleidoscope of intersecting designs and patterns. Like pointillism, my pieces delight from afar yet reveal new intricacies upon closer inspection.
