Cross-stitch work
The series of fabric panels are embroidered with simple words or images, recalling youth slang or doodles. The choice of cross-stitch—a time-consuming technique associated with a domestic craft and a decorative, cheesy style—clashes with the rough, aggressive register of the words. The language serves as a shibboleth, heavy on signifiers that suggest belonging and offer identification.
