A Scrappy Sensibility

Reception March 14 2025 7PM - 9PM
Using playground equipment as a visual motif, A Scrappy Sensibility explores preowned fabrics as a vital material for play, exploration, and collaboration. Through dye, bleach, and patchwork techniques, I consider reusing textiles as a playful act of discovery and collaboration, where its past life is imbued into new work. Restraints from the fabric’s properties and signs from its past life form prompts for collaborative intervention. I invite viewers to imagine the joy that can be found from a slow, resourceful relationship with textiles, resisting their rapid consumption and disposal. The production of this body of work was made possible by the Edmonton Arts Council.

Touch, heal, harm, pull, push, hold, cradle, grope, carry, grab, comfort, caress, tear, mend, create, damage, back, forth, feel.
Focusing on moments of introspection in stillness and liminal transitions, Lull explores the body as a vessel for emotional weight and feeling. These moments allow us to process experiences and traumas that the body carries, influencing our anatomy both internally and externally. My interest lies in capturing these moments in visual form to examine and learn from them. Lull delves into identity, femininity, queerness, and physical and mental chronic illnesses; using hands to bring internal conflicts to the surface to aid in the personal and communal processing and understanding of existence.
