Patch fabric, 2023

This textile print is a collage exploring talismans and lucky charms. I am interested in the meaning that humans assign to objects and the stereotypical symbols of luck and fortune that people would carry on their person to provide strength and comfort in daily life.

I patchworked some imagery together that held emotional meaning for me onto a piece of textile, intending to cut pieces out and add them to clothing or personal items, so they could act as lucky charms themselves.
