This work was created as a response to rework/modify an older art piece. If the original work is concerned with loss, what can we find in between and in the gaps of a hole? As a result of becoming worn or a type of unravelling, I propose the fray of denim as a valuable and vulnerable space to examine these questions. To tend to the margin, the wound, the hole, I am interested in what was lost, using what is left in the damage or detritus from previous work. No longer junk in the margin, but an active agent, shifting and shaping itself.
