‘Stitched in our brains.’

‘Stitched in our brains is a textile piece that sheds light on everyday judgments we make in our heads without thought. Developing the idea that words can have a large impact on a person and words can become fixated. I wanted the viewer to see if they relate to my work, having the thought, do I do this too?’

Judgments that are made everyday in our heads can have an effect on people in certain ways if we actually say them to the person we are thinking about. I believe that many people create snap judgments about others without even thinking, if it be about the way in which they present themselves, how they act or what they say it can create a first comment on that person but the comment gets left in out heads to ponder. This project brings to light on all the comments I would make about people on a daily basis, keeping a record of them all in my phone allowed me to produce work with them in the end. I did find that I held back on using certain judgments as I felt rather bad for saying them and didn't want to present how harsh some of them were.

Discussing the idea of stitch allowed me to understand the history of sewing and that it isn't as a ‘womanly’ practice as everyone would think. Historically it was actually men who tended to doing and creating the sewing machine. At the start of this project I wanted to develop within a very feminist view and create work that discussed how women are treated and how social media has a large impact on the way in which we present ourselves. Starting with body image, body positivity and negativity. However, I expanded on the use of words and how such comments can have a large impact on people. Also I eventually decided that hand-stitching the comments would give that more written feel and develop a self reflection when stitching them and allowed me to think: should I be writing this? 

Although comments usually get presented on social media, I wanted to develop within a more physical material. Embroidery allows the idea that these judgments are ‘stitched in our brains. The words become fixated, The idea that it becomes materialised like the fabric and the words can have a permanence on a person.

As you can see here the final work presents as 24 stitches created using a hand written font in black on Aida (fabric). I wanted to keep them simple and the black thread allows no connotations to be referenced. Each comment ends in a question mark as I see them more as questions rather than comments. The comments are in no particular order as they come randomly in my brain and they are presented like this as like you would view on social media, the idea of scrolling. 

Due to the current situation I couldn't present within a space so this was the best I could do. If I were to expand this project more I would have hundreds of these comments maybe quilted together, maybe hung on a wall or in a space that would reflect the brain.

Saw a poem written on a cut down tree trunk on my walk today. Said something about a tree that grows in a forest is stronger than a tree alone in a plain. Then made the analogy to man, having to fight and toil to get what he wants. Then it says that's what makes him a manly man. And how a tree in a forest is where you find the patriarch.

Okay, first, wtf. Sexist much. Why does a man have to be a manly man? Also, why does it matter if the tree in the plain doesn't have to fight for nutrients and water? If it's happy and lives a long life, then it's lived it's life.

Who are you to cast judgement on how man lives his life? I'd rather be the lone tree and live my life happily than have to steal nutrients and sunlight and water from other trees that need it to survive.

caring too early

cared about what people thought too early on, i was a 7 year old worrying about my appearance, hated my voice, hated my hair, hated my background, hated my religion, ashamed of my family. too early on did i care, now? now i have no personality.

ps: if i know you in real life (which hopefully i don’t tbh) then i probably leeched off your personality :)
