Landfill 5

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.
