Dye/Resist, a new textile work by A Bond // art opening at SubRosa

Dye/Resist, a new textile work by A Bond, was made by thinking and feeling through processes of feminized labor made invisible and isolated by a variety of conditions: gender, age, disability, anxiety, depression, PTSD, poverty and precarity in general. To effect a similar kind of negation, the artist submerged a previously bright, colorful, floral patchwork piece into a black dye bath. All the contrast negated, the marks of painstaking work that produced it rendered barely perceivable. What remains are traces, tiny sites of resistance where form emerges on an otherwise monochromatic landscape of shadowy textures and hues.

A Bond is an artist with a background in music, craft and fashion, drawing from the deep influence of DIY punk, queer feminisms and magick.

So come to SubRosa Friday March 3rd, 6-9pm for the art opening, and make an evening of being in the company of inspiring art and good folk. Art and creative expression is an important part of engaging in these times! https://www.facebook.com/events/398014957233415/
