This is a collection that I have gathered over many years. Assembling them now as an older woman was a very personal examination of myself, then and now. Many of the images are versions of, or the origins of, my tattoos. The images and text are repeated in various ways and hand sewn together. The repetition of the images and the repetitive nature of the sewing emphasizes the importance that I ascribe to the actual, physical making of a work. The self can be found in the doing.

Text and images are original; author is Casey Lowry.

 

Casey Lowry is an art school dropout, wife, and mother. She spends her days raising kids and making art about and out of materials she finds in her everyday life.
