how long does a stitch hold? (2024)

​

​​​

how long does a stitch hold?  is a graphic  score made using both hand and machine embroidery. 

​

This piece explores ideas of feminity, generational ties, and fiber arts as family legacy. 

​​

​

On interpretation: 

The score should be interpreted proportionally, wherein general size and positioning of stitches reflects pacing and music form. Changes in stitch color and pattern should reflect changes of color, texture, and gestures in performance. Blank space should be interpreted as silence.
