This canvas is a study in mark making, tracking the sheer time investment of nursing.

105 french knots in a square inch, stitched from my original handdyed colorway Unconditional.

It is an exploration in marking time and making visible the largely unseen, unpaid, and underappreciated labor that goes into parenting generally and parenting small children in particular.

The french knots in this piece are a gesture at a mark-making, time-keeping, practice of abstracting emotion and labor into tangible points. It is deeply inspired by Patti Maciesz’s (check out her Instagram!) work with #billthepatriarchy and the Invisible Labor Union.
