Elizabeth Morisette

In the 21st Century, the items one acquires in a lifetime are more plentiful than ever. Many of these items are not precious or even necessary; they just accumulate in ones home and office. How do the items we acquire define us individually and as a society? What happens to these items, which were once essential, when they are no longer needed, when we are done with them? Like a modern-day Archeologist, I explore these machine made items, collect them and then hand weave them bringing machine made and handmade together to ask questions about who we are as humans and how, and if, our possessions define us.
