Unframed.
This piece is a spin-off of my Sticks & Stones series. Rather than drawing inspiration from name-calling and insults, I use slang drawn from multiple generations, with a particular focus on Gen Z. Each word is hand-cut from Japanese paper and stitched directly onto found photographs. The photographs, sourced from thrift shops and vintage stores, are given a new context through this intervention. I see this project as a way of offering these women a renewed life and meaning while creating opportunities for connection and dialogue across generations of women.
