Rooted/Rebound | Michelle Westmark Wingard

"My cyanotypes explore perceived control and reimagine the possibility of reordering broken systems. I've been thinking a lot about the idea of reordering as an act of care and resistance. Many of my works lean into tension between the entropic tendency of the natural world and the order of the machine-made lines and preciseness of the quilting process."
