My mending work is woven in and around my art practice, the two are inextricable. When I began to gather people around a table to mend I realized that this simple act of care and consideration reverberated and mended more than our textiles.

I am interested in who is out there using mending as an art form and textile practice or a as practical way to enhance and keep our clothing and textiles in circulation and out of the landfills. Please look through the mending as metaphor menu above for stories and images about this shared practice.
