After All / Mending The Sky consists of nine suspended, organic, cloud-like forms, each composed of translucent half domes crafted from raw silk fiber, which is imprinted using cyanotype process to lend it rich indigo tones. From the nine forms, hundreds of sewing threads descend. At each end of a thread, a sewing needle is attached.

The installation draws upon the ancient Chinese fable of Nüwa, goddess and creator of mankind. After a tear in the sky brought suffering and calamity to her creations, Nüwa took on the arduous task of mending the broken sky to protect her creations. The installation draws a parallel between the goddess’ heroic effort and the humble, domestic, women’s task of sewing—both endeavors of mending and healing.
