Faith XLVII's artwork, 'Venarum Mundi,' intricately hand-sewn from discontinued currencies, maps, and flags, presents a nuanced commentary on value, borders, and global dynamics. The tapestries challenge viewers to reconsider the concepts of wealth and place, addressing the fragility of reality and the complex issues of migration and territoriality. By employing materials that symbolize stability, the work accentuates their obsolescence, prompting deeper contemplation of the economic forces that shape societal structures. The exhibition is currently located at Heron Gallery in San Francisco, showcasing these themes until August 2nd.
Faith XLVII uses discontinued currency, maps, and flags to weave together complex commentaries on value, borders, and shifting global forces through her tapestries.
Her intricately hand-sewn tapestries reimagine the boundaries of wealth and place, drawing attention to the fragility of our reality and the tensions of migration.
With each piece, Faith XLVII questions the materiality from which it was made, highlighting signals of stability rendered obsolete in a changing world.
'Venarum Mundi' is on view at Heron Gallery in San Francisco, showcasing the delicate balance of economic and geopolitical systems through artistic expression.
