Not on view at this time.

Stockholder transforms ordinary consumer goods, furniture, and textiles into complex formal compositions saturated with bold, vibrant color. Extending from the wall to the floor, this stage-like installation alters how the tactile surfaces of its commercially produced elements are read: yellow coveralls become an extended backdrop adjacent to a cloth and a shower curtain, while the carpet is used as a support for paint. The title Just Sew alludes both to having things arranged in a particular manner and to the stitched-together quality of the assemblage aesthetic.
