About the Item

Lauren Davis project titled "Industry Unraveled” presents images of abandoned Rust Belt manufacturing locations produced via a cell phone camera and digital processes derived from the affordable immediacy of Walmart and web-based commerce. Davis’s working process involves uploading digital files to Walmart’s website where the photographs are processed into woven versions of her images. She subsequently deconstructs the photographic weavings by pulling threads from the image and often incorporates other processes such as over-dying, bleaching and manual collage using a sewing machine. The connection between the object-like image of an abandoned factory and the Walmart weaving process, underscores the shift from bricks and mortar labor to the global internet-based economy. This seismic shift has impacted nearly everything from manufacturing, economics, politics, the landscape and environmental issues to education, social structure and community life.

  • "Protected" Photograph Printed on Silk with Hand Stitched Embellishments, Framed
    By Luanne Rimel
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    Luanne Rimel is an artist, curator, instructor, and currently the Director of Education Programs at Craft Alliance Art Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Her work is layered with historical dialogue and tactile intrigue through both technique and concept. Rimel prints her original photography on repurposed flour-sack cloths using a wide-format inkjet printer. Detailed sections of the image are created and layered, collaged and hand stitched onto the cloth, referencing earlier domestic practices of mending and repair, reuse and repurposing. The delicate, repetitive hand quilting across the surface creates shadows and textures and alludes to the marking of time. Her photographic imagery and textile work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including Japan, China and Korea, and is in many private and corporate collections. Her work is traveling in Quilt National 2013 and was in QN 2011. She has exhibited in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Smithsonian Craft Shows. Her work will also be included in the new book, Art Quilts of the Midwest, published by the University of Iowa Press. Other exhibitions include a solo exhibit at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis, MO, Art Quilt Elements, Wayne, PA, and the Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago IL. Luanne received an MFA in Fibers from Southern Illinois University and has taught numerous workshops and classes around the country.
