Description

A Chant That Blooms This piece was created with 100% of primary sales going directly to charity address tz1RUDnYFjxvjm4XXyaNLkdQepxdnTABuFBy of artist Amir H. Fallah’s fundraiser to raise awareness and donation support for the protests/protestors in Iran. A massive women-led resistance has largely been ignored by major news outlets in the States, it is imperative that we do not look away from this humanitarian crisis & feminist cause. We must stand in solidarity with all Iranians fighting for fundamental freedoms, bodily autonomy, and against fascism; and, we must honor all those lost who have had their lives taken in this fight. Zan. Zendegi. Azadi. Woman Life Freedom. زن زندگی آزادی · About Glitch Stich Often denigrated to the status of soft craft over artform, quilt work drifts quietly through our minds to the designation of domesticity. Though requiring advanced skill and training craftworks have often fallen into a category of ‘folk art’ or have been viewed as different or even lesser than artworks such as painting or sculpture. Yet, their history is rich; American quilts were borne out of necessity and a refusal to waste. Piecing together scraps, patching or mending worn pieces, and layering the old with recycling; their warmth meant survival. Survival through cold winters, survival through pestilence, and survival of tradition taught through generations. With each stitch imbued resilience. Quilts have long been the subject of gender dynamics but have also been created as acts of resistance (see: AIDS Quilt, Native American quilting tradition). Glitch Stitch considers the digital pattern square. Our worlds are siphoned to 1:1 pixels; yet, when these punitive squares converge, illuminated in their liquified crystalline display is nothing short of an endless and vast expanse. Combining live video mixing and video editing techniques with machine learning (sourcing from public domain images of quilts in museum collections), artist and machine fall together becoming completely enmeshed with one another. Accentuated is the idea of a 'lesser art' or a 'womanly craft', especially in comparison to the small percentage of sales on NFT markets from AFAB artists. A. Morgan McKendry slimebubble 2022
