Batique-dyed fabric, felt, denim, children's T-shirts, shoelaces, mirror, adhesive, spray paint, glitter, fabric paint, tape, record player
Overall: 10 x 25 x 3 feet
Utilizing Batik dyeing as a technique to share with others while also building a metaphor of resistance, Pope arranges individual stories into an integrated narrative composition born out of community workshops in which knowledge and skills in a variety of crafts, such as hand- and machine-sewing, embroidery, quilting, dying, and graphic design, are shared and exchanged. After its presentation at moniquemeloche, ALWAYS HERE will be on display at Homan Square and given back to the community.
