The image of a naked or half-naked girl taking pictures of herself on a mobile phone is slowly but surely becoming a new cliché of modern pop culture, a kind of antithesis of what is commonly called good taste. However, these are the images that Brooklyn artist Erin M. Riley uses to create her tapestries, combining ancient art and the chaotic stream of juvenile self-expression that descends on us from social networks and Instagram.
Riley first became acquainted with weaving while studying at art college. She has been working in this atypical format for a contemporary artist for about ten years, developing and improving her own creative style. Erin builds plots of her work around images that you can stumble upon in, or photos that are deleted from the phone memory the next morning after an accidental connection: “I take photos of used condoms, photos that I send to friends, photos of tables from parties, liquids and substances that determine what is happening."
The artist explains that, captured on the tapestry, a moment that would otherwise be ignored or shamefully erased from memory gains constancy.
Of course, such a topic may seem inappropriate or even offensive to many. But Riley emphasizes that she is motivated not by a craving for shocking, but by a desire to understand the feelings and emotions that everyone experiences to one degree or another, but which are usually suppressed and hushed up. …
Be that as it may, it is difficult to remain indifferent to the amount of time the artist spent on each stitch, hunched over the loom in order to immortalize the image of the crotch or glass bong with Hello Kitty. Her works create a space for intense and serious discussion. Or you can just sit back on the couch and admire, grimace, or chuckle as you look at her work.
