About the Item

"Tangerine tiles beneath your toes." Becca Fuhrman says of her work... My work aims to express the small moments that make up a life; quilting memories together one by one. When I was little, I remember my grandparents’ had wallpaper that didn’t repeat, but wrapped the entire dining room, floor to ceiling, covering every surface. Visual story-telling, folklore. The totality of imagery mesmerized me back then and continues to preoccupy my imagination now. Similarly, my work is often oversized, sequential, and imbued with the occult. Largely autobiographical, my pieces visualize bits of time; depicting days gone by, fleeting encounters from the present, and notions of the future. Exploring what it’s like to be alive - the beauty and the perversion - is the heartbeat of my work. Capturing emotional landscapes, often centered around the female experience, water, and sexuality, I seek to provoke curiosity in viewers. Unexpected color palettes, patterned elements, and mixed-media components, like gold leaf and sewn fringe, are used to heighten sentiments and construct abstract environments. Bodies in motion, elongated femme figures, and human hands often take center stage, suspended on ornamental backgrounds or abutting planes of color. Era bending, the subjects could exist just as easily on a Greek motif or 60’s album art. The result is seemingly playful at first glance but often seeded with strangeness and complexity upon further inspection. Like a recalling a reoccurring dream, bits of color, pattern, and imagery are stitched together to form a new and yet familiar impression that you just can’t shake. The quilts I saw my mother make as a child, the pulsating psychedelic poster art of the ’60s, and the ingenuity of folk art infiltrate my thinking. This interweaving of traditions allows my work to be ripe with contradiction, feeling simultaneously contemporary yet nostalgic, rich in symbolism but ripe with abstraction — holding many opposing truths at once, in a comforting way, so do many, much like we all do.
