Tiny Pricks Project
This is a piece I stitched for inclusion in “Tiny Pricks,” a public art project created and curated by Diana Weymar. Contributors from around the world stitched Donald Tr*mp’s words into textiles, creating the material record of his presidency and of the movement against it. Tiny Pricks Project holds a creative space in a tumultuous political climate. The collection counterbalances the impermanence of Twitter and other social media, and Trump’s statements as president through the use of textiles that embody warmth, craft, permanence, civility, and a shared history. The daintiness and integrity of each piece stand in stark contrast to his presidency.
