the parachute unfolds:

follow the thread

in collaboration with pk langshaw, Andrea Peña, Bobby León

The parachute unfold: follow the thread exhibition took place at FOFA Gallery located in Concordia University. The exhibition builds on the research of pk langshaw and was the result of a collaborative work between pk langshaw, Andrea Peña, Bobby León and myself. We worked with dresses made of parachutes used in ww2 to bring together memory, experience and to reflect on the histories embedded in the fabric.

the parachute un folds as con text iles
scripted cloth and politicised gesture

it is both the simple and the complex within the sublime nature of thought wherein we envision a hybrid environment—a performative poetic and politicized gesture un bound and adrift through layers of materiality and meaning. from military wear to fashion wear the parachute presents a rich and diverse palette in which to create a work that implies social commentary through poetic content and creative interpretation, mindful of history but neither bound by it.
