Postomia, 2023

Postomia, 2023, is a large textile hanging made in collaboration with the Postomia River in northwest Poland. Used bed sheets were submerged in the riverbed, absorbing sediment, agricultural runoff, sewage, and other regional flows. The resulting stains and markings reveal both the river’s organic life and its entanglement with ecological degradation. Hand-stitched into a single surface, these elements form a patchworked record of place, an imprint of the river’s shifting states and toxicities.
290cm x 260cm. Reclaimed cotton and linen bedding and tablecloths soaked for months in the Postomia river, Western Poland. Handsewn with cotton thread.
