Birmingham Suite, 1995
The Birmingham (B’Ham) Suite is a bit of an anomaly. Created in the space of two weeks while on an exchange in England, these simple couplings of found materials and fabric samples, although satisfying as abstractions, lack my usual tongue-in-cheek posture. Each element, be it a jacket, a sweater, or a pee stained mattress cover, told a story that, ultimately, felt too personal to be treated with any degree of sarcasm.
