Send more yellow

This contemporary millinery piece speaks to the journey of seeking balance and wholeness. It reflects a struggle to find one's way back to their center and identity through isolation and lack of community or collective care. The horse hair represents strength and fragility - strength when each strand is bound so tightly it cannot be broken; fragility when single strands are woven together to form a netting that could break under the slightest amount of pressure. 

Inspired by living with a disability through an ongoing pandemic and the poem "theo" by Noel Franklin.

Excerpt: 

"but we're all short of support, time, materials all wishing we had rich relatives, like vincent van Gogh his life was not easy still, if he needed anything to keep painting he just wrote his brother he wrote 

"dear theo, send more yellow."
