Anxiety Is a Love I Cannot Break Up With is an installation bringing together feelings of love and loss, by Juliet Martin.
About
This room is Juliet Martin’s fiber memoir. Using traditional techniques of weaving and drawing, she has created sculptural pieces infused with the language of love, loss, and anxiety. This installation combines drawings, hand- and machine-woven fabrics, banners of text, printmaking, wooden blocks and, most important, glitter. A repeating image of a blue ribcage protects from the anxiety that causes too much pain. Martin’s love of fiber and illustration and sculpture, both as a technique and a symbolic presence, imbues these emotional, often humorous pieces. The longest relationship she’s ever had is with anxiety – it terrorizes yet motivates.
