About the Item

This nostalgic tufted work features hues of blue, maroon, orange, and pink. Trish Andersen is inspired by the work of Shelia Hicks, Cy Twombly, Judith Scott and Nick Cave. Savannah-based artist Trish Andersen’s “Looking Out, Looking In” is a new series of three dimensional tufted fiber works that explore the balance between daydreaming, being present and finding comfort through change. Recognizing what we all carry with us, through our many life-changes, the visceral memories of small moments and objects - the patterns on a couch, the stitches on a shirt, a floral arrangement, a neighbor’s garden - as she herself transitioned into a new stage in her life. This series attempts to describe those mementos. Anything living knows stretches of dormancy - when there is nothing to do but lean into the lull and let it unfold - like the things you’ve packed up and carried with you from one life into another - sources of cognitive comfort from physical things,” says Trish. “Some compress neatly, falling into loose piles that bounce back without effort into the forms we recognize, others crumple and wrinkle and distort, forever holding where they were creased, while others fray and dissolve, leaving an outline that blurs and becomes something different. Looking out: the patterned cushion of the carpet or the couch, the soft blanket that warmed you, the dots and lines on the shirt you wore when you were scared and exhausted but did it anyway, the bright colors of the curtains you hung, flowers in bloom. There was a time when they were simply bulbs underground. Looking in: what you nurture in your arms, in your mind's eye. The bright spots that you focus on, how they grow and multiply as you feel toward a balance between instant gratification and slow change, vivid daydreams and full presence, stillness and action. Seeking out the sort of comfort that doesn't shroud or numb, but lifts you up and bolsters you through challenge and change; up through the dirt, into the sun. Repeat. Originally from Dalton, Georgia, often referred to as “The Carpet Capital of the World,” Trish holds a BFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her work has been featured at Design Miami, Atlanta Contemporary and has been commissioned by Coca-Cola, Kimpton Hotels, Google and BlackRock Financial among others.
