New Utopias

An in-progress series of textile prints and collages that explores alienation, the desire to escape society, utopian dreaming, and back to the land fantasies.

The series combines screen-printed 1970s Polish catalog imagery with references to American back-to the land and utopian movements, employing common craft techniques such as quilting and applique.
