DAVID WILLBURN

Statement

THREE STATEMENTS:

My pictures are fragments of promises and things wished for.

These fragmented moments tell and retell stories, embellishing and forgetting with each telling.

Using the meditative medium of hand-stitching and embroidery, and catalogs and other found images as source material, I reconstruct and personalize objects, bodies and spaces.

Addendum
