From Lydia Street Gallery:
“Benné Rockett-
Her current body of work, Repairing Nature, utilizes Japanese traditions for imbuing worn and broken objects with a second season. The loosely interpreted techniques of kintsugi and sashiko highlight the salvageability of all things. Equally evocative are the materials. A pair of small sculptural dresses are made from tarlatan, a material used by printmakers to wipe excess ink off plates. Plant DNA barcodes are carved into surfaces while gold eye pins pierce surfaces to draw a genome sequence. Fruits, vegetables, and garden detritus are encased in beeswax. All of these materials are used to document the layers of being alive.”
