on repeat

Referring to the experience of punishment of ‘I will make better choices’, by repeating a sentence of shame and empowerment. Adapting the verse 'he loves me/he loves me not', to highlight the insecurities but also hope, while pulling the petals of belonging.

*Pibione is a method of weaving that uses a stick to create a raised pattern in the form of small bumps above the warp. Each pibione must be counted and wound by hand, one pibione at a time, one row at a time, matched against patterns marked by hand on graph paper. In addition to the raised pattern of the pibiones, the base fibers (warp) of the textile create a second and complementary pattern.
