Kelsey Boes: I work with textiles because they are tactile, meant to be touched. The soft slip of fabric through your fingers, the crisp edge of a carefully pressed seam, the worn through holes that expose flannel linings. Each of these speaks of care and process and history. Textiles allow me to explore making emotions and moments tangible. To wrap my arms around my sister from miles away in the cables of an afghan. To capture the lost feeling of big life decisions in angles and juxtaposed stitches. To anchor my dreams for my niece in threads on which she can sit and stand and play. Textiles make the intangibles something that I can grasp.
