Leonora Loeb 'Relic Flag 2'
Drawer 3- Relic Flag 2, 2020, archival pigment print + metallic thread, 8.5” x 11” (edition of 4)
Artist Statement
The Relic series are hand-sewn prints made with photographs of a series of small porcelain sculptures I have made over the last couple of years. This series begins with a succession of walks through the city. During these destination-less explorations, visual connections between fleeting glimpses of the environment are made and the appearance of building facades, graffiti, textiles, and jewelry are bound. The Relic series are memory collages of those visual bonds- peeled off remnants and imagined fossils.
